Per Marchand, Kelce would be replacing former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III.

We heard on the the most recent edition of Kelce's New Heights Podcast, with his brother Travis, the brothers talked to new Eagles running back Saquan Barkley.

B arkley made a pitch for Kelce to return to the field for 2024.

"You know you don't have to watch", Barkley said.

Kelce responded by saying, "I'm not going to come back, I'm not doing it."

Kelce is keeping busy in retirement, he is slated to throw out the first pitch along with Fletcher Cox before Saturday's Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park. Cox also recently retired and will join Kelce before the game as Kelce announced on the New Heights podcast.
