PHILADELPHIA (94WIP SportsRadio) — Philadelphia Eagles future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce has announced he will return for the 2023 NFL season.
Kelce, 35, has played his entire career with the Eagles, beginning in 2011. He is a six-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro and one of the most beloved athletes in Philadelphia sports history.
Kelce and defensive end Brandon Graham (and, potentially, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, if he is brought back) have a chance to pass former placekicker David Akers for most games played as an Eagle.
B.G. and Kelce could both surpass David Akers' record for most games played in an Eagles uniform. Fletcher too if he's back.

188 … David Akers
183 … Brian Dawkins
180 … Harold Carmichael
178 … Brandon Graham
176 … Jason Kelce
175 … Brent Celek
173 … Fletcher Cox
The addition of Kelce to the 2023 roster will obviously affect the Eagles' salary cap number. He will likely make around what he made last season, which was $14 million.
The NFL's "legal tampering" period began at noon on Monday, while the official start of the new league year is Wednesday at 4 p.m.
