But the former Cowboys quarterback seems is involved with the Dolphins in his new undefined role with the team.<\/p>\n<p>General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said Aikman will be in the team\u2019s draft room, although the Dolphins will not consult with him on picks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u6LaWrMv6KM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">say enough good things about Troy<\/a> and quite frankly Dan as well,\u201d Sullivan said Wednesday, via video from the team. \u201cDan\u2019s been here. Dan\u2019s been in the room. Dan\u2019s has been a tremendous sounding board for us. We\u2019ve had a lot of fun together. . . . He\u2019s been especially helpful for me with quarterbacks and receivers. Troy\u2019s been a wonderful sounding board in his own right from afar. Troy will be part of equation moving forward. What that looks like, we\u2019ll see. But he\u2019s been a great sounding board, and I\u2019m glad he\u2019s going to be part of the equation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know he\u2019ll be here. He\u2019s certainly welcome in the draft room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aikman helped the Dolphins with their General Manager search that landed Sullivan the job. Sullivan then asked Aikman to serve as a consultant in the coaching search, and now Aikman will continue to help the Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p>He will also continue with his day job as the Monday Night Football game analyst for ESPN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Troy Aikman is not a minority owner of the Dolphins, like Tom Brady is with the Raiders.
