(WJW) – Philadelphia Eagles star and Northeast Ohio native Jason Kelce isn’t staying too far away from the NFL after his retirement.
ESPN officially signed a multi-year agreement with Kelce, who is joining the network’s Monday Night Football pregame show every week through the regular season, ESPN announced Tuesday.

He will also appear weekly during ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, leading up to the season, and the network’s Super Wild Card and Divisional Round playoff games, ESPN confirmed in a media release.
According to the release, Kelce will also join ESPN’s Super Bowl studio coverage.

“Turns out, it was a short retirement!” Kelce said in Tuesday’s statement. “I’m excited to join ESPN, and particularly the Monday Night Countdown team. ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love of all sports. To now appear on that same screen is a full circle moment. And, I mean it’s freaking Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football.”
News recently broke that his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, would be hosting “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” on Amazon Prime Video and joining the cast of an FX horror series.
