Troy Aikman played his entire 12-year NFL career with the Cowboys, but he nearly came out of retirement to start for the Eagles in 2002—which would’ve been a nightmare scenario for Dallas fans.
After retiring from the NFL following the 2000 season, Aikman joined the Fox broadcast crew consisting of Cris Collinsworth and Joe Buck in ‘02. In November of that year, Aikman and the crew were working a game in San Diego when Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb broke his fibia in a game against the Cardinals.
