Jason’s latest public appearance comes nearly a month since his emotional press conference on March 4, when he announced his retirement after 13 years in the NFL, with his younger brother, Travis, and his family watching on.
He has yet to commit to anything football-related since hanging his cleats, although several reports claim that the former Eagles center is being ‘aggressively pursued’ by ESPN to join its Monday Night football cast.
According to The Athletic, the network is determined to add Jason to one of its most popular shows as part of a shake-up to its pregame coverage.

Fitzgerald’s contract expired in February and has not yet been renewed after executives told him they wanted to see how the rest of their lineup shapes up before making a final decision.
