In an Instagram post, Jason Kelce announced that he will return for another NFL season. Meanwhile, to keep the focus on the field, the Eagles center says that he’s retiring from the world of arm wrestling, where he’s amassed a 2-0 record. As Kelce says, he’s going out on top.

“I wanted to allow my body and mind to fully recover from the rigors of an NFL season and take time with my family to see what lies ahead,” Kelce wrote. “I am fully excited for the 2020 season and will be out there with my teammates, coaches, and hopefully fans this coming season…Can’t wait to be out there this season, can’t wait to have sports back, and I can’t wait till this lockdown is over.”
After the Eagles were knocked out by the Seahawks, Kelce was reportedly the last player to take off his uniform. To some, that signaled retirement. However, the 32-year-old (33 in November) will return for another season in Philly, where he’s under contract through the 2021 season, plus a few void years for salary cap purposes.
With that, Kelce will be on the books for a $7.4MM figure in 2020. He’s well worth the price – last year, Kelce graded out as Pro Football Focus’ No. 1 center for his work across 1,227 snaps.

I hope Jason didn’t amass such an impressive arm wrestling record by beating his parents.
