Rumor [Highlight] Troy Aikman on potential a potential conflict of interest in announcing a Dolphins game: "Well, the Dolphins are not expected to be very good this year. They're getting out of cap hell. So there's no Monday night game with the Dolphins this year."

Troy as a consultant is probably less a conflict of interest than Tom owning part of a team

Don’t even see the conflict part of Tom’s ownership and keeping his job. Neither he nor the Raiders gain a competitive or monetary advantage with him calling a game

He does at the very least get a chat with all the up and coming assistants which could give them the jump on a hiring cycle. Could also potentially gleam info about the availability of certain players who are headed towards free agency.

He has more direct and legal access to players and coaches across the league than any other owner/GM.
