Troy Aikman, Dolphins Have No Ongoing Consulting Agreement

Aikman’s official role ended with the coach and GM searches.

Troy Aikman, Dolphins Have No Ongoing Consulting Agreement

Troy Aikman revealed during a recent radio interview that he will retire after this season, both from broadcasting and NFL consulting. While Aikman served as a consultant to the Miami Dolphins last offseason, he does not have an ongoing agreement to continue in that role for the team. The extent of his current advisory role remains unclear, as it is not considered formal.

Aikman's future consulting options are uncertain, with NFL teams expressing reluctance to pay him a salary comparable to his broadcasting earnings. Aikman has been subject to team-access restrictions similar to Tom Brady due to his arrangement with the Dolphins. Despite speculation about his potential return to the Dallas Cowboys in a front-office capacity, Aikman has publicly criticized the team's owner, Jerry Jones.

Aikman's current $18 million per season contract with ESPN may limit his salary prospects in other broadcasting or front-office roles.
