Wow, wonder what would have happened had he said yes.

Aikman had a lot left in the tank.

He talked about this once during his weekly show down here. It was really tempting to him. REALLY tempting. He respects the hell out of Andy Reid and that was the main reason he gave it thought.

If he did sign with the Eagles, I wonder if Cowboys fans would have treated him the way Packer fans treated Favre for going to the Vikings?

Sure would have enjoyed watching him win another Superbowl with Dallas

Probably not. The continued "Will He/Won't He" drama with Favre wore thin with most Packer fans I know.

It would have been really damned strange though.

He obviously has strong ties to the Dallas area and was smart for not clouding the issue going after a questionable extra year or two at the end of his career. Apparently the guy is very, very wealthy.
