Troy Aikman calls it '50-50' he'll continue in TV, but keep your shirts on Cowboys fans

Troy Aikman said he thinks his television career could be nearing an end, but he stopped short of any discussion about next steps beyond the current broadcast cycle. Asked by Peter King on Wednesday at Interabang Books on Lovers Lane whether he might not keep doing TV after this year, Aikman estimated “50-50.” The former Cowboys quarterback, who has been on TV for 38 consecutive NFL seasons—12 as a player and 26 as a Fox or ESPN broadcaster—said he is “still getting” his head around how he reached his current position and hinted there would be a “right time” for more candid comments. He noted ESPN’s deep stable of on-air talent and that his ability to negotiate or explain contract details is limited. Aikman also reiterated, in practical terms, that he’s not positioning to return to lead the Cowboys’ front office. The article references his discussion with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones at Lincoln Financial Field before Dallas’ 38-21 victory.
