Saquon Barkley pushes Jason Kelce to un-retire, rejoin Eagles on ‘New Heights’ podcast
NY Post
Saquon Barkley sounded like a man with a plan during an upcoming appearance on the “New Heights” podcast.
The popular show hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce will feature the former Giants running back this week and a teaser clip of the episode on Tuesday seemed to show the now-Eagles back trying to lure Jason Kelce back onto the field.
A caption on the clip, posted to the show’s account on X, read: “Saquon came on the show and started recruiting.”
The elder Kelce brother announced his retirement from the NFL on March 4 after a 13-year career with the Eagles.
Nevertheless, Barkley seems to be trying to get him to reconsider that decision, even if it’s just in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
“I’m like a kid in a candy store,” Barkley starts off saying in the clip. “I’m happy, I got a fresh start. I can’t wait to meet everybody and just go out there and play ball.”
Any and every NFL draft is replete with questions about needs and priorities and rankings and roster construction, with the status of the general manager and the head coach (are they secure or are they on the hot seat?) and the forecast for the franchise all weaving their way into the many potential scenarios.
