'Maureen found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved the beach — especially the shore — and had a deep affection for dogs,' the message read.
'In recent years, she spent treasured time in Cape May with her family, enjoying peaceful days by the ocean. She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch. Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.'

The family has reunited on game days, whether supporting Travis and the Chiefs or when Jason played for the Eagles from 2011 to 2023. Jason retired in March 2024 after 13 seasons in Philadelphia.
The Kelces ventured to New Orleans in February, when the Chiefs were crushed by the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025, 40-22.
Travis will kick off his 13th NFL season next month when the Chiefs travel to Brazil to face the Chargers on Sept. 5.

Are the Browns' early QB injuries already a problem?
Yahoo Sports NFL analyst Nate Tice, NFL writer Charles McDonald and fantasy analyst Matt Harmon discuss the series of concerns for Cleveland's quarterbacks entering the first game of the preseason. Hear the full conversation on 'Football 301' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript The Cleveland Browns, who went 3 and 14 in 2024, retained their staff while their staff stayed largely intact. Tommy Reese is now the offensive coordinator. They also have Jim Schwartz, still the defensive coordinator, who kind of had that usual Jim Schwartz year two drop-off that we usually see when he's the defensive coordinator. Kevin Stefanski is still the head coach. They have some quarterback interest. So, let's start there. The Cleveland Browns. Charles, let's start with you. I think you're right about this week. What are you focusing on with the Cleveland Browns' offense this year? Well, what am I focusing on with the offense here for the Cleveland Browns? I want to see if all five quarterbacks play. Let's get Tyler Huntley in there. Let's roster five quarterbacks and have all of them play for me with this offense, though. Yeah, the quarterbacks, that's how it shakes out. I just want you to know the odds right now to beat week one starter Joe Flacco are -265. That's a pretty heavy favorite there. Kenny Pickett is plus 400, Dylan Gabriel, the third-round pick, plus 680, and Shater Sanders is plus 2500. That's 25 to 1. So he's starting Friday because they have not one but two quarterbacks with hamstring injuries in training camp. I have never even seen one quarterback with a hamstring injury in training camp. I mean, you rarely see that. And they have two. How much scrambling and bailing from the pocket have Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel been doing during training camp? I've been told Shaur has a sore shoulder. They have four QBs; most NFL teams have three QBs on the roster, and then they have like a coach be the fourth guy, AKA that's why I was with the Raiders or, you know, somebody else just throwing those extra throws. They have four guys, and they have had a guy with a sore shoulder and two guys with sore hamstrings. I've never seen anything like that, so it's just like what are you, Cleveland? Close

Dak Prescott on Micah Parsons Dispute: ‘This Is Frustrating for Everybody'
National Football League Dak Prescott on Micah Parsons Dispute: 'This Is Frustrating for Everybody' Published Aug. 6, 2025 7:29 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had two words to sum up the escalating dispute between the organization and All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons: "F---, man." "He knows what that means," Prescott said about reaching out to Parsons, per Yahoo Sports. "It wasn't 'F--- you, Micah,' or 'F--- them.' It's more of a 'F---, this is frustrating for everybody involved.'" Prescott has experienced his own share of drawn-out negotiations in recent years, having gone back and forth with Jones through two extended disputes. Prescott inked a four-year, $160 million deal in 2021 and then a four-year, $240 million extension on the eve of the Cowboys' Week 1 season opener last fall after an awkward offseason in which Jones was wishy-washy about paying Prescott. "Not many people, especially here, have been in that position," Prescott said, per CBS Sports. "So I know what that means just to support him." While Prescott reached out to Parsons, team owner Jerry Jones has still yet to do so. Jones shared he has not spoken to Parsons nor started contract negotiations with his agent, David Mulugheta, since he demanded a trade on Aug. 1 . Jones also went on to say that he's uncertain if Parsons will play in the Cowboys' season opener against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4, which also serves as the opener to the 2025 NFL regular season. ADVERTISEMENT Parsons continued his hold-in this week, watching the joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 5 from the sidelines in his white No. 11 jersey and sweats. [MORE: Micah Parsons Next Team Odds: Will Cowboys Trade Star DE?] Parsons and the Cowboys began contract discussions in January. Jones mentioned at the NFL's annual league meeting in April that he was communicating directly with Parsons about a potential new deal, alluding to a conversation the two had in March that Jones seemingly interpreted as a formal negotiation. According to Parsons, when his agent reached out after that meeting, "the team decided to go silent." Furthermore, Parsons let it be known that he wouldn't be doing any deal without his agent involved. In June, Parsons said that he was "hopeful" he'd have a new deal done before the start of training camp on July 20. One day before the start of camp, Jones seemingly took a dig at Parsons' durability by mentioning he missed a handful of games due to injury last season when asked by reporters for an update on the negotiations. While Parsons didn't respond directly, he reshared a social media post from former NFL star J.J. Watt about how someone "can publicly take a dig at … your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins." Parsons reported to the start of training camp but only observed from the sidelines and did not participate. Shortly after, he made a formal trade request, calling out the Jones family for how they'd handled contract negotiations and revealing that they haven't "had a single conversation" with his agent in a 1,000-plus-word statement posted online. Jones added more fuel to the fire two days later, saying that a situation from a decade ago involving former Cowboys star Dez Bryant — who publicly voiced his support for Parsons on social media — and Roc Nation Sports owner Jay-Z is the reason why he doesn't like to deal with agents. A first-round draft pick in 2021, Parsons has at least 12.0 sacks in each of his four seasons in Dallas and has 52.5 for his career. He also had 12 tackles for loss in 13 games last season. Parsons is going into the fifth and final year of his rookie deal and could be franchise tagged in 2026 without an extension. He's set to make $24.007 million in 2025.
