Troy Aikman Hints at Departure from ESPN

Troy Aikman has indicated that he might depart from ESPN/ABC following the 2026 season, amidst growing speculation about his future. During an appearance on 96.7 The Ticket in Dallas, he acknowledged a recent argument with his long-time partner Joe Buck but refrained from discussing the details.

Aikman confirmed that he will continue to broadcast for the remainder of the season and will become a free agent after Super Bowl LXI. He expressed eagerness for what lies ahead, hinting at a potential change in his career.

The situation is notable as it unfolds during a season where ESPN is set to air its first Super Bowl, making the dynamics between Aikman and Buck particularly significant as the season progresses.
