Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce celebrated his decision to return for at least one more season with general manager Howie Roseman on Monday.
I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season. After talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family, I have decided to return for another year. Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t fucking done yet!

This interview in Indy was too much fun. He got me loosened up with the tequila! https://t.co/XoZ0ekXKXg

It's been a very eventful last 365 days for Kelce.
It was one year ago last Friday when the 35-year-old announced that he would be returning for the 2022 season, an announcement that also included alcohol. Despite undergoing elbow surgery last summer, Kelce was able to suit up in time for Week 1 and not only keep his consecutive games streak alive, but appear in all 17 regular-season contests and all three playoff tilts.
The older brother of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce performed at an elite level again last season, notching his sixth career Pro Bowl honor (fourth straight) and fifth First-Team All-Pro honor (all in the past six years), while helping lead a standout Eagles offense. Philadelphia was the final undefeated NFL team last year, earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and made it to Super Bowl LVII, before falling to his younger brother's Chiefs.
The Kelce brothers also saw their mom, Donna, become a bit of a Super Bowl celebrity as well.
Travis Kelce hosted "Saturday Night Live" earlier in March — with the entire family in attendance — and the center made cameos in multiple sketches.
