$14 million worth Lane Kiffin bids farewell to Eagles legend Jason Kelce with a Taylor Swift reference

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce received a farewell message from Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, who made use of a Taylor Swift GIF to drive home his message.

The fourth-year coach has a sense of humor and a knack for wordplay, which is more often than not evident in his posts. Taking to X on Monday, Kiffin posted a GIF featuring the American pop sensation, who is also the girlfriend of star tight end Travis Kelce, Jason's brother.

The GIF showed Swift giving a thumbs up to an ESPN post containing former Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt's tribute to Jason.

Jason gave an emotional farewell press conference, which was also attended by Travis, and his family.

​

"It has always been a goal of mine to play my whole career in one city," Jason said. "And I couldn't have dreamt a better one and a better fit if I tried.

"I don't know what's next, but I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities that await."

Travis Kelce rocked Taylor Swift-themed bracelets at the conference.

Who will replace Jason Kelce at the Philadelphia Eagles?

The Philadelphia Eagles face a daunting task as they bid farewell to the legendary center. The spotlight now turns to Cam Jurgens, the Eagles' second-round pick (No. 51 overall) from the 2022 draft.

Hailing from Nebraska, Jurgens was touted as one of the top centers in his class, possessing athletic qualities reminiscent of Kelce himself. Jurgens had a limited role in his rookie season, mostly taking the field as a right guard due to Isaac Seumalo's departure.

Even though he faced injury setbacks, Jurgens started 11 games at right guard in the 2023 season. He was rated as the 31st-best guard in the NFL, according to PFF.

​

Boasting a sack-free record in 366 pass-blocking snaps last season, Jurgens will aim to become the anchor of the Eagles' offensive line in 2024 and beyond.

Do you think the Philadelphia Eagles will aim for a center in the 2024 NFL draft to replace Jason Kelce or trust the progress of Cam Jurgens? Have your say in the comments below.
