Dolphins Tap Troy Aikman to Advise General Manager Search

Owner Stephen Ross seeks outside perspective from a trusted voice with deep league ties.

Overview

  • Sources say Aikman will sit in on candidate interviews and use his NFL relationships to help evaluate contenders.
  • His role is temporary, he is not a candidate for the position, and he is not expected to remain after a hire is made.
  • Interviews are expected to begin next week as Miami targets executives with strong scouting backgrounds.
  • ESPN reports his consulting work will not affect his Monday Night Football duties.
  • The search follows the Oct. 31 departure of Chris Grier; Champ Kelly is interim GM as the 7-9 Dolphins look to end a 25-year playoff-win drought.
