Thought I'd start this thread.



Jason Kelce is coming back for 2022! Sort of surprising because the Eagles drafted his replacement in the 2nd round in 2021.

Quote:The Philadelphia Eagles and Jason Kelce have agreed to a new $14 million contract, a source confirmed, making him the highest-paid center in the league.

Kelce, who had been mulling retirement, announced on Thursday that he would be returning for his 12th NFL season.
.....

The Eagles did everything they could to incentivize Kelce, who has pondered retirement over the past several offseasons, to play another year. Coach Nick Sirianni even sent a keg of beer to Kelce's home to butter him up. In a video posted on social media Thursday, Kelce took a long swig from a beer poured out of that keg before announcing his return, saying he's having "way too much fun" to step away.

I didn't think it was worth making a similar CFL thread.

I don't think this would preclude him from giving the NFL a shot next season (Bengals could use some punting competition if Huber doesn't return) but I'm not sure.
