Former Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce and ex-New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick are now two of the biggest free agents available for TV networks who may wish to bring them in for NFL analyst positions.
Kelce announced his retirement from football earlier this week following a 13-year career. He leaves the game as a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time First-team All-Pro selection who led the Eagles to the franchise’s first Super Bowl championship in the 2017 season.
As for Belichick, he and the Patriots announced that they were parting ways back in January following a 24-year run together. Surprisingly, Belichick was passed over in the latest NFL head coach hiring cycle.
Though both are expected to be highly sought-after by TV networks, a new report indicates that Kelce will probably draw more interest for an analyst gig than Belichick.
Speaking on the “Ross Tucker Football Podcast” (h/t Ben Axelrod of Awful Announcing), The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reports that Kelce is “more likely” to land a television gig than the legendary head coach:
“I think it’s more likely Kelce ends up on a (pregame show) desk than Belichick. First off, he’s kind of all-in with the podcast that he has with his brother. And I just think long-term, he looks likes somebody who could do it.
The issue for Belichick is that there is a feeling and it seems pretty understood that he wants to coach again. So to make such an investment when you might be only for one year, I think places will be a little bit hesitant for that. And Belichick’s a little bit different. What does he want? That’s a question as well that has to be answered because he doesn’t have to do this.”

Though Belichick wasn’t brought in by another team this year, it’s safe to assume that he won’t be passed over in next year’s hiring cycle.
The soon-to-be 72-year-old Belichick hasn’t at all indicated that he wants to stop coaching, and several teams should have interest in a man whom many regard as the greatest head coach in NFL history.
