Troy Aikman’s future with ESPN looks to be nearing its end and on Thursday morning one possible next move for the Hall of Fame quarterback got eliminated, as CBS announced an extension with J.J. Watt that will make him the lead analyst for at least the next few years, after the network parted ways with Tony Romo.
Aikman is in the final year of his contract with ESPN. He and Joe Buck made the jump together from Fox in 2022 and have been the faces of Monday Night Football ever since. They have been broadcast partners since 2002 and have long been the best booth in the business.
