Aikman, 59, was reportedly hired three months ago as a consultant to assist with the Dolphins\u2019 general manager search.<\/p>\n
The team subsequently hired Jon-Eric Sullivan, who was in the Packers front office from 2004 to 2022, and was hired to replace Chris Grier in Miami on Jan. 9.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think all franchise quarterbacks that have been in the league for any length of time,\u201d Aikman said, \u201cI think we all come out of the game thinking that we could run a team, and know what it takes, and certainly having been a part of some championship teams, and I know what the locker room feels like, and what a winning locker room should be like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Aikman continued, \u201cAnd so I really thought I would go in that direction when I was getting out of football, but because of things in my personal life, it kept me from really being able to devote time in that way. But, in the back of my mind, I kind of hoped it\u2019d come along, and then, you know, I was so far removed at this particular time, I didn\u2019t think it would ever happen. But so it\u2019s kind of scratched that itch, but, you know, I don\u2019t have any ownership. I don\u2019t have the influence, if you will, that Tom (Brady) seemingly has there with the Raiders. So it looks similar, but I\u2019m not so sure that is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aikman is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion who put together a Hall of Fame NFL career while under center for the Cowboys from 1989 to 2000. He was Fox\u2019s lead football analyst from 2001-2022 before moving, along with partner Joe Buck, to become ESPN\u2019s current \u201cMonday Night Football\u201d broadcast team. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s still keeping his role with Miami close to the vest, and like Brady, it doesn\u2019t appear he\u2019ll be stepping away from TV while serving as something of a guide for an active NFL team. <\/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. The Cowboys have never elected to do that, at least with me. You know, maybe they have with others.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Troy Aikman shed a sliver of light on his role with the Miami Dolphins.
