The Miami Dolphins<\/a> are in a rebuild, and while they have a new general manager in Jon-Eric Sullivan, they also have another person they can count on: Former Dallas Cowboys<\/a> QB Troy Aikman, who serves as a team consultant<\/a>. <\/p>\n Aikman will share his knowledge with the Dolphins to ensure the team has all the information needed to make major decisions. In a March 31 video from DLLS Cowboys<\/a>, Aikman spoke about not ever being a consultant for the Cowboys. <\/p>\n \u201cI mean, as a consultant, Will McClay doesn\u2019t get to do it in Dallas, and he\u2019s been there a long time,\u201d Aikman said. \u201c\u2026 The Cowboys have never elected to do that, at least with me. Maybe they have with others.\u201d<\/p>\n As a result, former Cowboys wideout Jesse Holley is not happy to hear Aikman say that Dallas has never used him as a resource.<\/p>\n \u201cTo hear out of [Aikman\u2019s] mouth that I am rooting for the Dolphins, pulling for the Dolphins, and then saying that they didn\u2019t even care to consult me, ask about my ideas, bring me into the fold, or give me a seat at the table so I could share some of the thought processes I have and the people I know is frustrating,\u201d Holley said in a March 31 video from DLLS Cowboys<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHelping in whatever process the Cowboys are pursuing in the front office is also important, yet we know that Jerry [Jones] is asking and consulting a bunch of other people he probably should not. To leave out Troy, to me, is the highest level of malpractice in front office general managing, whatever you want to call it. That is another small indicator of why this thing has gone so wrong in the last 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n Troy Aikman Explains Miami\u2019s Decision to Reach Out to Him<\/p>\n Moreover, Aikman explained why Miami decided to reach out to him to be a consultant as the team enters Year 1 of their rebuild.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the Dolphins were wise in understanding my relationships around the league and knowing that I have information that they don\u2019t have or can\u2019t get,\u201d Aikman said. \u201cAnd I think they were smart in taking advantage of that, whether it was through me or through somebody else.\u201d<\/p>\n Troy Aikman Will be Rooting for the Dolphins<\/p>\n Nonetheless, went comes to Miami, Aikman was blunt noting that he will be rooting for the team to do well this upcoming 2026 season. Still, he understands it will be a challenge as the Dolphins are looking to rebuild and build a contending team from scratch. <\/p>\n \u201cI will say I\u2019m pulling for the Dolphins,\u201d Aikman added. \u201cAnd I know that because now I have something at stake. And I think they hired two really talented, wonderful people, and I think that\u2019s going to prove itself out. <\/p>\n \u201cNow, \u201926 is going to be a tough season because of the cap that took a big hit when they let Tua Tagovailoa<\/a> go. But time will tell. But yeah, I\u2019m pulling for them. I want to see them do well because I feel like my fingerprints are on it as well.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
