Jason Kelce Muses About Being a Minority Owner of the 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.”
