Jason Kelce Wants to Be the Next Howie Roseman

Philadelphia, PA – June 20, 2025

Jason Kelce, the beloved Eagles legend turned rising executive mind, may be retired from the field, but he’s not done chasing greatness. And this time, he’s chasing it off the turf — in the front office.

Jason Kelce has always been known for his grit, leadership, and unmatched football IQ on the field. But now, with his pads hung up and a new chapter beginning, Kelce has his sights set on something bigger — mastering the front office game just like the man he admires most in the Eagles organization: Howie Roseman.

“If I can learn from the best, why wouldn’t I?” Kelce told reporters during a recent Eagles event. “What Howie’s built here in Philly is nothing short of extraordinary — and honestly, I want to understand that genius.”

Roseman, long hailed as one of the smartest and most aggressive GMs in the NFL, has turned roster building into an art form. Whether it’s drafting Jalen Hurts in the second round, locking in long-term core players with cap-friendly deals, or flipping mid-round picks into Pro Bowlers, Roseman’s decisions have helped bring Philly to two Super Bowls in four years — and may have built a dynasty in the making.

Kelce, who spent over a decade anchoring the offensive line, has seen that brilliance firsthand.

“There were times I’d walk into the building and just be blown away by what Howie pulled off overnight,” Kelce said. “He’s not just playing chess — he’s playing 4D chess while everyone else is still learning checkers.”

Now shadowing Eagles front office meetings as part of an unofficial mentorship, Kelce says he’s absorbing everything — from contract structuring to scouting analytics to navigating owner relationships. Sources inside the Eagles' headquarters have even hinted that Kelce is being groomed for a formal executive role within the organization in the near future.

“Howie is one of the best in the business,” Kelce previously said on the New Heights Podcast. “The way he builds the roster, balances the cap, and keeps us competitive every year — it’s really impressive.”

His ultimate goal? To earn the kind of respect Howie has built over nearly two decades.

“It’s not about power,” Kelce emphasized. “It’s about building a team the right way — with heart, with vision, and with the stones to make the hard calls. That’s what I see in Howie. That’s what I want to be.”

While fans once envisioned Kelce as a future coach, his shift toward front-office leadership might be even more exciting. If he can channel even a fraction of Roseman’s strategic brilliance, the Eagles may be looking at not just one era of greatness — but two.
