Eagles' Jason Kelce Retires, Cam Jurgens to Step Up as Center

Following a distinguished 13-year career, Kelce's departure leaves a void in the Eagles' lineup, with Jurgens poised to fill the critical center position.

Jason Kelce announces retirement from the NFL after 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving a significant gap in the team's offensive line.
Cam Jurgens, drafted by the Eagles in 2022, is expected to replace Kelce as center, a position Kelce himself endorsed Jurgens for.
Jurgens, a Nebraska native and former University of Nebraska–Lincoln football player, also started 11 games at right guard for the Eagles in 2023.
The Eagles are considering options for filling the right guard position, including drafting a player or exploring free agency.
Jurgens, known for his athleticism and business venture in beef jerky, is poised to maintain the offensive line's strength despite Kelce's departure.
