Amazon To Pursue Troy Aikman For Its NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ Booth

Troy Aikman is a wanted man.

Amazon Prime Video is looking to team NBC’s Sunday Night Football play-by-play announcer Al Michaels alongside Fox NFL game analyst Troy Aikman when the streaming service becomes the exclusive home for Thursday Night Football in 2022.

Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports provided the report a few days ago.

“If Amazon is able to land Aikman, the Pro Football Hall of Famer would likely team with play-by-play announcer Al Michaels to form a ‘TNF’ dream team,’” McCarthy writes.

Aikman, the three-time Super Bowl-winning Cowboys QB, has been the lead analyst for FOX’s NFL game coverage for the last 20 years, working alongside Joe Buck.

Andrew Marchand of New York Post wrote back in September that he believed there was a 90 percent chance Michaels, whose contract with NBC runs out in 2022, ends up joining Amazon.
