Brent Celek Would Rather Retire Than Play for Cowboys

Need another reason to love Brent Celek?

Probably not - the standing ovation he got at the Sixers game in March just hours after being cut by the Eagles in March gives you a sense of the connection he has with Philadelphia fans.

But speaking with Harry Mayes and Jason Myrtreus Friday on 97.5 The Fanatic, Celek did the one thing guaranteed to get you in any Eagles fan's good graces - diss the Cowboys.

"Hell no. Do you think I would play for the Cowboys? Philly is my home," Celek said. "If they offered me 10 million, I still wouldn't go."

While Celek said back in March before being cut that he wasn't planning to retire, it sounds like his mind has shifted. He has a hard time imagining himself playing anywhere besides Philadelphia.

"I think I'm leaning more toward retirement," Celek said. "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."

Like seeing Brian Dawkins in a Broncos uniform, it would be bizarre to watch Celek suit up for another team. 

If he does find a new home, we know it definitely won't be Dallas.
