Apart from football and his family, Jason Kelce seems to love having a good time. In fact, just earlier this year, the father of two had made his way to Highmark Stadium to watch his brother, Travis Kelce, win a Chiefs vs Bills playoff match. The 36-year-old had begun his day with a tailgate party with fans of the opposing team and enjoyed himself so much that the former Eagles star recently revealed he wanted to do it again.
In a recent episode of the New Heights Podcast, the Kelce brothers discussed the NFL’s upcoming schedule. With the Kansas City Chiefs set to take on the Ravens and the Bills once again on different dates later this year, they could not help but talk about “going back to Buffalo.” Although Travis had been the one to bring it up, the older brother jumped on the bandwagon and immediately exclaimed, “Ooh, that’s fun.”

I’m ok with waiving the five-year waiting period for the Hall of Fame now.

While the 34-year-old wanted his brother to “get sh*tfaced at work,” Jason ended up shutting down that idea stating, “ESPN might not let me do that on a Monday night game.” However, the former Eagles’ center also added that he wanted “to go back to Buffalo without the Chiefs or Eagles playing them,” just because he wanted to be “fully Buffalo” and experience the whole thing.
Even at the last game, the athlete could not get a taste of the Buffalo experience. After all, though Philadelphia was out of the running, the Chiefs were the opposing team. Although the older Kelce could not completely give in to the tailgate last time, he was still able to go all out and even go shirtless as a celebration when the team won. However, the 36-year-old’s first time back could be more business than pleasure.

Jason Kelce may no longer be on the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the 36-year-old has landed himself another gig in the same industry. While most players go on to become coaches later on in their careers, the 36-year-old has chosen to use his loud and lovable personality. Just a day ago, it was revealed that ESPN had signed the former center to a multi-year deal as an NFL analyst.

He would be joining Monday Night Countdown, which is a two-hour weekly program and he would even have the chance to work with Scott Van Pelt and Ryan Clark in the halftime shows and playoffs. Although no numbers from Kelce’s contract have been revealed, there is no doubt that the deal would have had to pay the 36-year-old a pretty substantial salary.
After all, just a couple of days ago the news broke that Amazon was in talks with the Kelce brothers to bring the New Heights podcast to Wondery. Apparently, the deal was cut somewhere in the 8 figure range. However, the deal has not been confirmed as of yet by the streamer. Although, Ed Kelce all but confirmed it in a post to social media just days ago.
