Jason Kelce is reportedly more attractive and in demand by TV networks than Bill Belichick following his retirement from the NFL.
Kelce called time on his professional playing career on Monday, while Belichick is set for his first season not on the coaching staff of an NFL team for decades.
Kelce spent 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles and is regarded as one of the best centres to ever play the sport.
He won the Super Bowl in 2018 and is the brother of three-time Super Bowl champion Travis, the boyfriend of singer Taylor Swift.

Kelce broke down at an emotional press conference on Monday when he announced he would be calling it a day.
He has already had a taste of the media world with his hugely successful New Heights podcast that he co-hosts with his brother.
And it appears as if he will be in demand by TV networks to become an expert analyst for the 2024 season.
The Athletic's reporter Andrew Marchland claimed on the Ross Tucker Football that Kelce would be 'more likely' to become a pundit than Belichick.
He says the 'issue' for Belichick is that he wants to coach again in 2025 and networks will be 'hesitant' to invest in him for only one year.
Belichick has been expected to enter the analyst world while he waits for a new job after leaving the New England Patriots.
However, Kelce's retirement could perhaps make it slightly harder, with Marchland saying he would be a more 'long-term' option.
Belichick came to a mutual agreement to leave the Patriots in January after his worst regular season in charge.
The 71-year-old held the role of head coach for 24 seasons, leading the Patriots to nine Super Bowls, winning six.
However, he was unable to reach a Super Bowl following the departure of Tom Brady in 2019.
Belichick was keen to get straight back into the coaching game and reportedly held talks with the Atlanta Falcons.
But the Falcons instead appointed Raheem Morris, while the remaining head coach vacancies have also been filled.

Kelce, meanwhile, spoke for 40 minutes on Monday as he explained his decision to retire, also thanking Travis for the impact he had on his career.
He said: "So this all brings us here to today where I announce that I’m retiring.
"Where I announce that I’m retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Today, I must admit, I am officially overrated. Vastly overrated, but it took a lot of hard work and determination getting here.

"I have been the underdog my entire career, and I mean this when I say it, I wish I still was. Few things gave me more joy than proving someone wrong.
"My mother used to tell people when still says to this day, if you want Jason to do something, all you have to do is tell him you can't. And that was true in more ways than I care to admit.
"There is no chance I’d be here without the bond Travis and I share.
"It made me stronger, tougher, smarter and taught me the values of cooperation, loyalty, patience and understanding."
