PHILADELPHIA — Jason Kelce didn’t know yet. He was shoving clothes into a duffle bag and handing the bag to an equipment manager inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, the Eagles’ loss in Super Bowl LVII no more than 90 minutes old. He was one of the last players left in the locker room, as expected. It had been a fun and taxing week for him — his brother, his mother, his father, the interviews, the attention, the stakes. Now it was time for him to answer the question that he answers at the end of every season, a tradition, like fireworks or caroling or candied yams.
He had just finished your 12th NFL season. Was this the end of his playing career?
“It can be. It could be,” he said. “It could have been the end for a couple of years now.”
