Philadelphia Eagles fans are buzzing with speculation as former Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce remains a frequent visitor to the team’s facility.
Although Kelce officially retired after the 2023 season, his continued presence raises the intriguing possibility of a future in coaching.
Lane Johnson, the Eagles’ offensive tackle, fueled these speculations during his appearance on “Up & Adams.” Johnson shared, “Most definitely.
He was in the building maybe more than a lot of players this offseason.”
So, what has Kelce been up to at the facility? According to Johnson, “He was in there lifting. He would be stretching, he would be talking. I think he was kind of seeking advice from people and opinions about his future. He was in the building a lot.”

Kelce’s passion for the game and his desire to help others are well-known. These traits were on full display shortly after the Eagles selected center Dylan McMahon in the sixth round of April’s draft. Kelce introduced himself to the team’s new center while working out at the facility.
“He’s the best center to ever do it,” McMahon said of Kelce. “Just to meet him and have him around this building to be able to pick his brain once in a while is just an amazing experience.”
While the idea of Kelce transitioning to a coaching role seems logical, there are significant factors that might deter him. The most prominent being the time commitment required. As a father of three, Kelce likely wants to spend more time with his family post-retirement. Additionally, he co-hosts a popular podcast with his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and is set to join ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” crew this fall.
Despite the busy schedule, Johnson hinted at a potential coaching future, saying, “I think he has a locker in the coach’s locker room now.”
For now, it appears Kelce has enough on his plate without adding coaching to the mix. However, if he ever chooses to pursue it, the Eagles’ facility is already familiar territory. Whether on the field or off, Kelce’s impact on the game continues to be profound, and his legacy within the Eagles organization remains strong.
