Aikman was part of the one of the most successful Dallas Cowboys teams in the franchise’s history, winning three Super Bowls in his 11-year stint with the team from 1989-2000. The former NFL quarterback has formed a career in the media since retiring more than two decades ago.

Aikman had formed a commentary partnership with Joe Buck for Fox Sports before the pair both moved to ESPN in 2022. Aikman signed a five-year deal that is reportedly worth $90 million, and will continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
