In a move that has stunned fans, teammates, and analysts across the NFL, veteran center Jason Kelce has officially come out of retirement and signed a 2-year, $15 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, joining forces with his younger brother, star tight end Travis Kelce.
The announcement dropped early Monday morning and immediately sent shockwaves through the football community.
Known as a lifelong Philadelphia Eagle, Jason Kelce spent his entire 13-year career in Philly, becoming one of the most beloved and respected players in franchise history.
His decision to not return to the Eagles, but instead sign with the reigning Super Bowl champions, has ignited both excitement and controversy.
“We Are Stronger and Better Together”
In a heartfelt statement released through the Chiefs’ official social media account, Jason Kelce spoke candidly about the motivations behind his surprising decision.
“I never thought I’d lace up the cleats again after last season, but sometimes, life offers you one last unforgettable opportunity.
Playing alongside my brother isn’t just a dream — it’s a chance to be part of something truly special. We are stronger and better together, and I believe we can help take this team to new heights,” Kelce wrote.
The emotional message was accompanied by a video montage of the two brothers throughout their careers — from backyard games as kids in Ohio to Travis’ dominant career with the Chiefs and Jason’s legendary run with the Eagles.
A Family Reunited on the Gridiron
The reunion of the Kelce brothers on the same team is a rare and compelling storyline in NFL history. While they famously faced each other in Super Bowl LVII, this will be the first time they share the same locker room in the pros.
Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer, expressed overwhelming joy in a press conference held at Arrowhead Stadium this afternoon.
> “This is more than football — this is family. Having Jason by my side on the field is something I never thought would happen. I’m beyond grateful, and I know he’s going to make a massive impact here,” Travis said.
What This Means for the Chiefs — And the NFL
Jason Kelce’s return adds immense experience and leadership to a Kansas City offensive line that has already been one of the league’s most efficient.
