Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman has continued to reveal more about his new role with the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, the NFL has continued to have nothing to say on the matter.
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, who has been critical of the potential conflict of interest the league could have with Aikman broadcasting for ESPN and consulting for the Dolphins, reported Monday the NFL declined comment on Aikman’s latest interview.
“The league previously has said it will address the situation “at the appropriate time,” wrote Florio.
“In response to Aikman’s latest comments, the NFL has declined comment.”
In his latest comments, the former Cowboys quarterback did little to suggest he won’t have a conflict of interest when announcing Monday Night Football and providing other analysis for ESPN this season.
“I will say I’m pulling for the Dolphins . . . because now I have something at stake, and I think they hired two really talented, wonderful people, and I think that’s gonna prove itself out,” Aikman told Clarence E. Hill Jr. of DLLS Sports on March 31. “But, yeah, I’m pulling for them. I want to see them do well because I feel like my fingerprints are on it as well.”
The Dolphins hired the longtime broadcaster and Hall of Fame signal-caller as a consultant in January. Multiple reporters indicated Aikman had a significant role in Miami’s offseason hiring process.
This offseason, the Dolphins hired both general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley.
