Troy Aikman says he will be a free agent after this season
Troy Aikman said he will call games for ESPN through this season, then become a free agent and look for his "next landing spot."
Troy Aikman said he plans to work this season as ESPN's Monday Night Football analyst and then become a free agent. His ESPN contract expires after February's Super Bowl, according to The Guardian.
Aikman spoke Thursday morning in a radio interview with KTCK of Dallas. The Guardian reports he said he is looking for his "next landing spot."
Fox News reports Aikman did not deny tension this season with his broadcast partner, Joe Buck. Fox says he left little room for the possibility of a new ESPN deal.
The Guardian reports that Aikman and Buck were said to have argued over their contracts. The reports do not say who made that claim or give details of the dispute.
