Aikman retired for the NFL in 2000 and began his sports broadcasting career in 2001. He will kickoff his 22nd year in the booth this fall. During a recent appearance on Dallas radio, revealed that he has "a pretty good idea" as to when he'll call it a career.

"I always have been [mindful] of our time being limited. … So, I posed the question to myself a lot that, you know, if you’ve got ‘X’ number of years left, what exactly do you want to do with that time?" the 56-year-old Aikman said on 1310 AM The Ticket.

Aikman is entering the second year of a multi-year contract with ESPN. He did admit that while he was planning to retire in the "near future" but he does have "an idea" on when he will step away.

"And I go a step further — does that include broadcasting, does that include living in Texas? … But yet, I am still broadcasting and I’m still living in Dallas, and I very much love the state of Texas and I love living in Dallas, but I don’t know how much longer I’ll do it. I’ve got a pretty good idea. And not to suggest that I’m retiring anytime in the near future, but I’ve got an idea as to when I believe that I’ll retire."
