  "account": "On the day after a conversation between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and former quarterback Troy Aikman, Jones stated during a radio interview that hiring Aikman for a role within the Cowboys was \"very possible.\" While Jones did not explicitly indicate a direct team role at the time, he made it clear that Aikman's qualifications for such a position were significant. The two had an on-field discussion prior to the Monday Night Football game between the Cowboys and Eagles in Philadelphia. Jones noted that while Aikman, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, might not be immediately pursuing a front office role with the Cowboys, he emphasized that Aikman's expertise and knowledge of the NFL make him an outstanding candidate for any role within the organization. Aikman, who is currently contracted with ESPN, recently indicated that he would consider an offer from Jones if presented.",
