Brent Celek spent the first 11 seasons of his career as a tight end with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he wants nothing to do with playing for one of their rivals.
Celek was cut by the Eagles in March, and said then that he didn’t plan to retire. He has changed his tune in light of a lack of interest, but there’s definitely one team he’d never play for.
“Hell no. Do you think I would play for the Cowboys? Philly is my home,” Celek told 97.5 The Fanatic, via NBC Sports Philadelphia and the 700 Level. “If they offered me 10 million, I still wouldn’t go.
“I think I’m leaning more toward retirement. I’ve had a few offers, but none of them are worth leaving a city that I have been in for 11 years where I won the Super Bowl in my final year. It wouldn’t feel right to put another uniform on.”
The Cowboys lost tight end Jason Witten to retirement and are looking for people to step up. It’s safe to say Celek will not be one of them.
