Aikman Open to Cowboys Role After ESPN

Troy Aikman says he is open to new opportunities after his ESPN contract expires following the 2026 NFL season, and will finish the season before assessing his options. He has expressed interest in team work and entrepreneurship after consulting for the Miami Dolphins, and said he would welcome a conversation with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and consider a role if he could help the team, despite their complicated relationship. Jones has praised Aikman’s football knowledge and front-office qualifications but has made no offer; Dallas has historically kept football operations under Jones and his family. Reports suggest Aikman could find another broadcasting role, but his next step remains undecided.
