‘No deal is…’ – Troy Aikman’s future at ESPN addressed after Joe Buck’s historic $108 million deal
Dallas Cowboys legend Troy Aikman’s return to ESPN is still pending despite Joe Buck signing a new deal. In 2022, ESPN managed to lure the dynamic duo of Troy Aikman and Joe Buck from FOX Sports, as it marked the beginning of a new era in the network’s football broadcasting team.
Troy Aikman, the esteemed Dallas Cowboys legend, remains without a new deal with ESPN despite Joe Buck's recent six-year, $108 million extension. ESPN aimed to secure the talents of Aikman and Buck when they joined from FOX Sports in 2022, bringing a new era to the network's football broadcasting team. However, Aikman's future with ESPN remains uncertain, as sources indicate that the delay is due to ESPN's strict extension deadline for analysts following Super Bowl 2027.
Aikman, like Buck, is represented by the same talent agency, CAA, but sources warn that no deal is imminent for Aikman. The possibility exists that Aikman might look into other network opportunities due to competitive offers from other broadcasting companies.
