Troy Aikman Says There's a "50-50 Chance" He Won't Be Working in TV Next Year
- On Wednesday, Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman said there is a "50-50 chance" he may leave broadcasting after this season, as his ESPN contract expires following the upcoming Super Bowl.
- Aikman is embroiled in a bitter dispute with long-time broadcast partner Joe Buck, stemming from Buck's surprise six-year, $108 million contract extension in September that excluded Aikman from negotiations.
- Tensions boiled over two weeks ago in Los Angeles before a Buffalo Bills-Los Angeles Rams game, with Aikman reportedly calling Buck's actions the "ultimate act of betrayal" after their 25-year partnership.
- ESPN is monitoring Greg Olsen as a potential replacement, with the Fox Sports broadcaster viewed as the "favorite" by industry insiders to succeed Aikman alongside Buck next season.
- With major networks like NBC, CBS, and Amazon Prime filling their top broadcasting roles, Aikman has expressed openness to a potential role with the Dallas Cowboys if the right opportunity arises.
