EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Nov. 13, 2006) -- Troy Aikman said Sunday he is "fifty-fifty" about whether or not he will end his retirement and play next season.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback called a report about a possible comeback "only speculation."
ESPN.com recently found out that Aikman told ESPN's Ron Jaworski that he would be interested in returning to the NFL next season but only if he could work with Joe Gibbs in Washington.
"I have said all along it's not something I have closed the door on," Aikman said. "If the right situation presented itself with the right offensive system, one that I believed in -- and Joe's is one I believe in -- then I would certainly consider it."
Aikman won three Super Bowl titles with the Cowboys. Only Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw have won as many. His 90 wins in the 1990s are the most by any quarterback in any decade. He also won his first seven playoff games and 10 of his first 11.

Next thing you know, Emmitt will try to join him since he has Happy Feet.

No, I did not know this. I don't think it would be a good idea. (I know it's not a good idea if he wants to play for the Redskins.) I would only want to see him back with my beloved Cowboys. Say it ain't so Troy!!
Edit: I can't find anything about this on ESPN.com. Where did you see this story?

No, I havent heard that, but the idea is ludicrous. He's already in the hall of fame for cryin out loud! Do they let guys come back once inducted into the hall of fame? I know they let coaches, but players? This is ridiculous.

Unbelievable!! You go Troy!!
He'd probably be one of the top 5 QBs in the league if he did come back!!
Lucky Redskins!!

I would bet he still has the skill, the problem is his body couldn't take the beating. He's not as mobile I'm sure and teams would blitz him to death. Unless they could bring back the 'Hogs to protect him, he'd be unable to compete.

I guess he had one too many concussions. He needs to stayed retired, he has nothing to prove.
