“Right now, I’m about 277. I’m almost 20 pounds down right now,” Jason told GQ in an interview published on June 26, 2024. “It’s hard to imagine another nearly 20 pounds coming off, being honest with you. But my back already feels better. My knees already feel better. So another 20 pounds hopefully will make that much more adept at playing with my children.”

The former Philadelphia Eagles player explained that he weighed 295 pounds “for the majority of [his] NFL career,” and said he has realistic goals for dropping more weight. However, he insisted that he doesn’t want to get “too small.”

Following his retirement announcement, Jason opened up about his fitness goals in June 2024. After telling GQ that he didn’t want to lose a major amount of weight, Jason explained that a lot of “offensive linemen” will “lose too much weight” once they stop playing “and then they look like bobbleheads because their neck gets so small, but their head stays the same size.”

He then shared that he ultimately hopes to weigh between 250 to 260 pounds. “I’ll still be big and be happy with the way I look without having a six-pack,” Jason said. “But I’ll still be able to have that stature a little bit.”
