Good luck to Jason Kelce post NFL career.

I wish there was a clause in the CBA to allow for a cap exemption for a percentage of the contract of a "Hometown Hero"

Like, if you drafted a player, and that player has played for you at least 8 years, and made X amount of Pro Bowls or X amount of All-Pros, then only 70% of their contract would count against the cap. You could have 2 Hometown Hero contracts per season.

Or something like that, designed to help teams keep players that fans don't want to lose. Because, the thought of players like CJ or TK playing somewhere sucks. Imagine if we ever had to see DT in another uniform. Imagine what a gut punch it would be if Kelce had said he wants to be paid his actual value, and he had to go to another team to get it.

Fans deserve to have those truly beloved players stay, if the player wants to stay.
