Lamar Jackson abruptly ends yearlong legal battle with Troy Aikman

After more than a year of negotiations, Jackson withdrew his challenge to Troy Aikman’s trademark use of the No. 8, according to records from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office detailed by ESPN.

Aikman and his company filed for these trademarks in 2024, and Jackson, who owns trademarks involving the number, filed the challenge in July of that same year, according the report.

His attorney, Andrea Evans, reportedly filed a motion to withdraw it without consent of the Hall of Famer’s team Monday.
