  "account": "Troy Aikman has reportedly released another break-up mixed tape with another organization following his viral split with ESPN. Fellow commentator Joe Buck and Aikman, who have collaborated on game calls for 25 years, reportedly had an argument before the Los Angeles Rams vs Buffalo Bills game regarding their six-year deal with ESPN. Aikman hasn't yet received an offer, leading him to believe ESPN may be moving in a different direction. ESPN's lack of communication has convinced Aikman that a new opportunity is imminent. \"It just seems to be where they’re going – that they’re gonna go in a different direction because there’s been no talks, no contract negotiations,\" Aikman said. Aikman confirmed to Front Office Sports on Friday that he is no longer working with the Miami Dolphins, giving him the freedom to potentially join another NFL team if he chooses. He previously signed as a consultant for the Dolphins to improve their football operations. However, his arrangement with the team doesn't appear to be permanent.",
