NFL imposes new limits on Troy Aikman's duties after Dolphins consulting hire

As preseason games begin, the NFL disclosed that former quarterback Troy Aikman will be subject to specific constraints after becoming a consultant for the Miami Dolphins. Under the new rules, Aikman must participate in any production meetings with teams via remote connection and is prohibited from entering practice facilities. The league cited the need to prevent any perception that inside information could influence his Monday Night Football analysis.

Brian McCarthy noted that similar parameters were applied to Tom Brady in prior seasons, and that any breach would be the responsibility of the clubs sharing information. By separating Aikman's broadcasting duties from his advisory work, the NFL seeks to safeguard the integrity of its televised coverage while permitting his continued involvement with the Dolphins.
