He took to social media on Monday to make the big announcement.

Kelce writes:

“I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season.

After talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family, I have decided to return for another year.

Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t [expletive] done yet!”

Kelce, 35, has mulled retirement during each of the past several offseasons, deciding each time that he wanted to continue playing.

He’s played 12 seasons — all with the Eagles.
