Troy Aikman makes jokes over ESPN contract

Troy Aikman made a joke regarding a contract standoff with ESPN during a Monday Night Football broadcast. Reports indicate a 5 percent chance Aikman won't be calling the February Super Bowl with Joe Buck.

ESPN also covered two NFL trades. The 49ers acquired Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen. The Vikings brought in quarterback Kirk Cousins by trading a third round pick to the Raiders. Additionally, ESPN offered live scoring for a Real Madrid versus Paris FC match on November 10, 2026.
