Aikman has been enjoying his retirement from the NFL and his career as an analyst on ESPN's Monday Night Football. Earlier this week, he shared a post celebrating the launch of ESPN's app.

"A historic day as ESPN launched its Direct-To-Consumer app — ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro, Burke Magnus, Elle Duncan and others were on hand to ring the bell at the NYSE," he wrote.
