Jason and Travis Kelce appear on an episode of New Heights, contemplating what it would mean to be a minority owner of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jason Kelce admits the price would be a little steep, but he’d love to be a Eagles minority owner, a Philadelphia team he’s been a part of for 13 seasons, writes Liz Rocher for Yahoo Sports.

Kelce, retired now for three months as a Philadelphia Eagles center, said during a recent New Heights podcast that he’d consider buying a minority stake in the Philadelphia Eagles.

The topic came up after Bloomberg reported that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was exploring selling a minority stake in the team.

“Trav, should we buy some of it?” Jason Kelce said.

Upon reflection, though, Kelce realized that ownership of even a small part of the NFL team is financially out of his reach, even with his massive earnings.  

According to Bloomberg, the Eagles have been valued at $7.5 billion. That’s 11 times the team’s yearly revenue. It’s the highest valuation ever given to an NFL team.

“I’ll back out of the TV deal right now if you tell me I can own the Philadelphia Eagles,” Kelce said, adding “[Getting] to be an owner? That’s like another level.”
