Joe Giglio is giving Jason Kelce exactly one week from today to make his retirement decision.
"If I'm the Eagles, I need to know," Giglio said on Thursday's 94WIP Midday Show. "I'll say it this way, I'll give him a week. From today, I give him on week because if I'm Howie I need to have that weekend before the league year starts, before legal tampering to figure out my salary cap situation, to figure out my plans, am I going after a guard in free agency? Whatever. They need to know how much money they have spend in free agency, they need to know if they're going to go after a replacement on the offensive line in free agency and I've got a new offense to install with a new coordinator. I need to know are you're or are you're out even before I make draft plans in April because I may draft a kid there."
"I agree with you with the hard deadline, I just don't like all the base that you have in your voice," co-host Hugh Douglas said. "You making it feel like you're being aggressive. I don't know if I would give him one week to figure it out, but he has to let me know before free agency gets going. Like, I would probably say the night before free agency I'd like to know."
Kelce, who will turn 37 in November, made $14.25 million last season and was named to his sixth first-team All-Pro and his seventh Pro Bowl as one of the NFL's best centers once again.
