Kelce’s retirement announcement, made during a tearful news conference attended by his loved ones at the Eagles’ team facility, marked the end of an era.

For months, speculation has swirled about the future of the Eagles legend, with retirement rumors first emerging after the team was eliminated from the playoffs in January.

However, Kelce remained tight-lipped, instead choosing to focus on supporting his brother Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs in their Super Bowl run.
