Philadelphia Eagles centre Jason Kelce might not have hung up his boots yet but he's already exploring potential careers opportunities post-NFL.
The 36 year old pro-footballer hinted at retirement after a disappointing playoff loss, and has held talks with broadcasters Fox and ESPN.
According to Front Office Sports, Kelce's future could lie in broadcasting. The football star's meetings were setup with possible TV work on the horizon. These meetings reportedly happened in Las Vegas, before the mega Sunday showdown between Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Having hosted his own podcast along with his brother, Travis, a fellow NFL player, Jason should have no trouble switching sides from playing to analysing the game.

On the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, an excited yet anxious Kelce has already shared his feelings: "It is exciting to think about possibilities - it is exciting to be able to lose weight, feel good, and not physically fight for my life every day," Adding: "I think it is also daunting. It is anxiety and at the end of the day, it is the unknown."
Kelce is having a blast in Las Vegas, playing blackjack and rocking out at a U2 gig. Come Sunday, he'll be rooting for his brother at the Allegiant Stadium. With a third Super Bowl win in his sights, Travis admits this Sunday's match is massive.

"If we do what we need to do and we play our game and we find a way to win this game, we can party and have fun in Vegas for the rest of our lives."
He added: "You've got to focus on this game for what is it, five more days now. That's the biggest focus. Let all the excitement... there will be plenty of Super Bowls for you to attend for the festivities when you're done playing the game, or still playing, and I think everybody is pretty motivated and still locked in on the task in hand, and it's exciting being out here in Vegas, I'll tell you that."
