Troy Aikman’s frustration with ESPN and longtime broadcast partner Joe Buck has been anything but a secret, as the former Dallas Cowboys star is looking increasingly checked out with his contract expiring in February.
What remains unknown is who’ll replace Aikman as ESPN’s Monday Night Football analyst. Well, another NFL legend just threw his hat in the ring.

Drew Brees, the former New Orleans Saints star who’s currently an analyst for Fox, is eying Aikman’s MNF seat, according to Front Office Sports. Whether he lands the ESPN job is uncertain, but a No. 1 game analyst role is Brees’ goal.
“That’s my goal and aspiration, and that’s what I’m working towards,” Brees said. “Every week, I feel like it’s getting better and better and more comfortable.”
Brees has rebounded as a media presence after a much-maligned one-year stint with NBC in 2021. Still, he faces plenty of competition for the MNF seat from the likes of Greg Olsen and Tony Romo.
Aikman, who’s upset over how ESPN and the recently extended Buck handled contract negotiations, is signed through the Super Bowl in February.
