Philadelphia, PA – August 21, 2025
Jason Kelce has shocked the NFL world once again, and this time the news has nothing to do with his pads or the roar of Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles legend is officially returning to the franchise as a co-owner, stepping into the front office with the same grit and loyalty that defined his playing career.
The move became possible after Jeffrey Lurie, owner of the Eagles since 1994, agreed to sell a minority stake in the team to a small group of investors. At the heart of that group was Kelce, who reportedly purchased a five-percent share of the franchise. For Lurie, it was about expanding the team’s leadership with voices that embody Philadelphia’s values. For Kelce, it was a chance to keep fighting for the city he calls home.
Fans will remember him as the heartbeat of the offensive line, a six-time All-Pro, a Super Bowl champion, and the man who gave a parade speech that still echoes through South Philly streets. Now, instead of anchoring the trenches, Kelce will anchor conversations in the boardroom, shaping the long-term culture of the franchise.
"I may not be snapping the ball anymore, but I’m still here to fight for Philadelphia,” Kelce said in a statement that spread across social media within minutes. “This city gave me everything. Owning part of the Eagles isn’t just business — it’s family. And I’m here to make sure our future is even stronger.”
Inside the NovaCare Complex, reactions were electric. Coaches spoke about how Kelce’s presence as an owner will strengthen the bridge between the locker room and the executive suite. Players expressed pride knowing one of their own will always have a voice at the highest level.
From a strategic standpoint, the move offers the Eagles more than symbolism. It sends a clear message that team culture, fan connection, and accountability will remain cornerstones of the organization. Kelce’s involvement ensures that decisions at the top will always be grounded in the ethos that made Philadelphia champions.
For fans, this chapter cements what they always believed: Jason Kelce was never just a player. He was a builder of legacy, a fighter for respect, and now, a steward of the franchise’s future. The pads are gone, but the heart remains — and it beats just as loudly from the owner’s box as it did from the line of scrimmage.
