Ok Troy. You were cut, then tried to latch on to San Diego before calling it quits.
This is straight up revisionist history.

. Troy was essentially a cap casualty by his own hand. Jerry would have had to extend his contract to 2007 if they hadn't waived him, and Jerry did not think Aikman was healthy enough to play that long. Troy was 34 at the time and could have easily played longer and agreed to renegotiate his contract. He chose not to go down that road leaving Jerry with no choice but to waive him.
Anyone familiar with the stupid decisions Jerry was making year after year at that time in regard to player personnel can understand Troy's frustration. After 3 Super Bowls, Troy should have had more say in what was happening in the Dallas offense.
