Jason Kelce has witnessed quite the career arc. The former Philadelphia Eagles center has gone from a little-known sixth-round draft pick in 2011 to a favorite son of Philly as an All-Pro performer and, now, one of the newest members of ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
Kelce also has garnered a new reputation as a celebrity who gets tabbed for commercials and television appearances.
With the rise in fame, it’s time to ask just how wealthy is the 36-year-old retired Super Bowl winner?
What Is Jason Kelce’s Net Worth?
Kelce’s rabid, zany, and personable persona has led to an abundance of wealth.
As of 2024, Kelce is worth $30 million. That’s not just from the money he’s raked in from his playing days, either. He’s also earned his cash from endorsement deals.
Kelce spent his career playing what’s considered an unglamorous position on the football field.
As a center, he was tasked with the dirty work of taking on defensive linemen and linebackers while running backs ran through the openings he created and quarterbacks were given time to throw.
Yet, Kelce performed center in dominating fashion, so much so that the Eagles once made him the NFL’s highest-paid player for his position, handing him $14.5 million per year before his retirement. Kelce also earned a $10,335,000 signing bonus with the franchise.
That deal wasn’t even considered his richest contract with the team. Back in 2014, Kelce agreed to a six-year, $37.5 million deal that included $10,398,000 guaranteed.
Kelce produced seven Pro Bowlers as a trusted tone-setter for the Eagles. He went on to end his career with three consecutive All-Pro nominations.
Of course, Kelce is even more beloved among “Gang Green” fans for helping lead the franchise to its first Vince Lombardi trophy back in the 2017 season.
Even though Kelce will head to Lincoln Financial Stadium as a broadcaster and not dressed in Eagles gameday attire, it doesn’t mean he can’t wear green.

Looking at Kelce’s Endorsement Deals
Kelce’s personality has made him a popular sales pitchman on a national scale, including during his playing days.
Kelce was one NFL star who pushed Tide detergent. His 2023 spot featured fellow Eagles teammates Fletcher Cox and Jordan Mailata.
That’s not all Kelce has offered on the commercial side. He is signed with Old Spice deodorant and Campbell’s Chunky Soup.
Kelce has also poked fun at himself for being retired. He’s signed a deal with Buffalo Wild Wings, which included filming this commercial where he reaches out to BWW mascot Hank The Buffalo about trying to find his way back to football.
There’s another TV spot that’s grown popular during the first two weeks of the NFL season, which involves Kelce’s “new Sunday ritual.”
In it, he appears with his wife Kylie in trying to find something to watch on a fall Sunday afternoon — a first for Kelce since 2010.
Kelce may be away from donning shoulder pads and a helmet, but he’s still a football fixture whose personality has earned him large amounts of money and new commercial spots.
