News - Jerry Jones Considers Troy Aikman for Cowboys Front Office Position

Troy Aikman, famously known for leading the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl victories, finds his future with ESPN as an NFL broadcaster uncertain with his contract set to conclude at the end of the 2026 season. Recently, Aikman rekindled memories of his legacy in Dallas by working as an announcer for the Cowboys’ Week 7 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on 'Monday Night Football.' Despite advising fans not to overhype the win, the possibility of Aikman returning to the franchise in a new capacity arose after long-time Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly expressed interest in hiring him for a front-office position. The relationship between Jones and Aikman dates back to 1989 when Jones acquired the franchise and Aikman was drafted as the number one overall pick. Over his 12-year career with Dallas, Aikman became a six-time Pro Bowler and was pivotal in securing championships in 1992, 1993, and 1995, milestones the team hasn’t matched since. Post-Aikman's retirement in 2000, Dallas has had limited postseason success, achieving a 4-10 playoff record over ten appearances. Having missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons and currently holding a 3-4 record, the Cowboys prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals, seeking to return to even ground and reignite the former championship spirit.
