Jason Kelce has signed a multi-year deal with ESPN to join the network’s Monday Night Football broadcasts.
Kelce will appear on “Monday Night Countdown” each week, leading up to games throughout the regular season and the first two rounds of the NFL playoffs.
Kelce reportedly had suitors from several television networks following his retirement from the NFL in March after 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles.
“It turned out to be a short retirement!” Kelce said via a press release. “I’m excited to join ESPN, and especially the Monday Night Countdown team. ESPN was a consistent presence in our household growing up and the network helped shape who I am and my love for all sports.”
“To now appear on that same screen has come full circle. And I mean, it’s damn Monday Night Football! and I’m ready for some football,” Kelce continued.
