Eagles Player Drops Hint About Jason Kelce's Potential Return to Team

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson hinted Wednesday afternoon that longtime center and NFL legend Jason Kelce might make a return to the Eagles.

Johnson shared insights on the "Up and Adams Show" hosted by Kay Adams, revealing that Kelce has been a frequent presence at the Novacare Complex this offseason, seeking advice and opinions about his future.

"He was in the building maybe more than a lot of the players this offseason," Johnson mentioned. "I think he was seeking advice from people and opinions kind of about his future. He was in the building a lot."

Despite Kelce not having a locker in the players' room this season—his locker has been moved to the coaches' room—Johnson remains optimistic about seeing Kelce regularly.

"I think he'll be in the building at least once or twice a week," Johnson added.

Kelce, a cornerstone of the Eagles since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL draft, is widely regarded as one of the best centers in NFL history.

His career includes seven Pro Bowl selections, six All-Pro honors and a pivotal role in the Eagles' Super Bowl LII victory over the New England Patriots.

While Kelce appears to be shedding NFL playing weight and transitioning away from playing, there's speculation about a potential coaching role given his football acumen and storied career.

Kelce's presence at the Novacare Complex raises questions about his future with the Eagles, whether in a coaching capacity or another role within the organization.
