Jason Kelce, a center with the Eagles, has not declared his retirement. He is, nevertheless, considering his possibilities for a career
beyond football.
Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com has updated his previous article stating that Kelce spoke with ESPN and Fox Sports this
week regarding a TV job. Additionally, McCarthy claims that Kelce met with Amazon regarding its coverage of Thursday Night
Football.
Kelce and Amazon Prime are already acquainted. The Kelce documentary, which centers on Jason’s 2022–23 season, is available to
stream on Amazon Prime. Jason performed admirably when he visited the booth alongside Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels during a
2023 season game.
The most sensible choice is Amazon, especially considering that he could be added to the current booth. Alternatively, to be honest, he
may take Herbstreit’s position, who occasionally appears to be overextended due to his hectic schedule for college football and his job
obligations. In 2024, he might be somewhat relieved to have a slightly lighter workload.
Whatever the case, it is clear that Kelce is destined for a career in the media. Is he going to be making video games or working in a
studio?
A new regulation was developed by the NFL in 2020 with the intention of rewarding teams that hire minority coaches and front office
staff. The team that developed a minority coach or executive is entitled to two third-round compensation selections if the coach or
executive is hired away by a team to become the head coach or general manager of another team. The 49ers have found success with
this rule.
Since the rule went into effect, the 49ers have lost out on hiring Robert Saleh to become the head coach of the Jets, Maritn Mayhew to
become the general manager of Washington, Mike McDaniel to become the head coach of the Dolphins, Ran Carthon to become the
general manager of the Titans, and DeMeco Ryans to become the head coach of the Texans. Everybody
However, there seems to be some resistance in the league to the 49ers’ achievements in that area. Owners have lodged complaints with
the league office regarding the 49ers’ allocation of compensatory choices for developing coaches and executives of color, according to
ESPN’s Seth Wickersham.
The 49ers have only profited from the rule that all of the owners voted on; the report does not specify whose owners have filed
complaints. However, the owners passed the regulation. Owners who disagree with the regulation can attempt to persuade other
owners to modify it, but maybe a better course of action for those owners would be to cultivate talent on their own teams as
successfully as the 49ers do.
