Aikman expected to leave Fox for ESPN 'Monday Night' booth

Associated Press

NFL free agency doesn't begin for a few more weeks, however business is about to pick up when it comes to shuffling among the network broadcast teams with perhaps the biggest surprise of them all.

Troy Aikman is expected to become the lead analyst on ESPN's “Monday Night Football” after 22 years with Fox. The New York Post reported that Aikman will sign a five-year deal that would rival the $17.5 million per year Tony Romo is making at CBS.

ESPN and Fox had no comment on Aikman's future.
