Jason Kelce might be done with football, but he’s still going to get paid big money off the field.
On Monday, the Eagles star center announced his retirement from football in an emotional press conference.

Now that Kelce is retired from the NFL, it’s time for him to move on and make money in the entertainment sector.
Two weeks ago, during the Super Bowl, Jason met with several network execs about a potential move to TV, and they also seemed extremely interested in bringing him on board.
Jason and Travis’ podcast will also be a huge revenue source for the Kelce brothers.
According to Eric Silver, an expert in the podcast business, the Kelces can command $100 million with their New Heights podcast.

“Companies want Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast because of the deep relationship they have with their audiences,” Eric Silver, head of development at Multitude, a podcast collective studio and ad-sales provider, told MarketWatch. “That’s the most important thing in podcasting.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was around the same as ‘SmartLess.’ I wouldn’t be surprised if it was $100 million,” Silver said, while comparing the current market for podcasters to a free-agency period in sports.
It’s unclear if Travis will continue playing for much longer, but whenever he decides to retire, he and his brother will continue to make good money for the rest of their lives.
