Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones says on @1053thefan that he "could and would" bring Troy Aikman in for a role with the Cowboys organization in the future. "It's that simple because I do think that much of him with his basic command and understanding and knowledge of NFL football. He's certainly as qualified to do any of the things that have been mentioned. I think he's outstanding at what he focuses on right now, and that's giving the story and the narration of football games, of all times. So let me make it real clear: Troy Aikman is, first of all, just getting started in his life. I don't know of anyone that's played, or any part of football, that has had any more success off the field than Troy. He is a successful guy because he is one of the hardest working, most focused people that I've ever been around. Now, when you're around each other, a part of that make up can make it where you can have your ups and downs. But I think the world of him. I've seen his image and and had it in my eyes since I walked in the NFL. He's outstanding. The answer is not that necessarily we're going to do something more direct with the team at this time, but don't rule it out, it's very possible."
