Former NFL quarterback Troy Aikman wants a raise if Fox wants him to call "Thursday Night Football" games this season along with Sunday games alongside play-by-play man Joe Buck., according to a report by Michael McCarthy of Sporting News.

McCarthy reported the former Dallas Cowboy asked Fox for more money after seeing the deals offered to Peyton Manning to call games with ESPN and Fox this fall, which Manning turned down.

This fall, Aikman and Buck will enter their 17th season calling NFL games together.
