As I understand it...when they were at FOX...

Troy was offered the MNF deal with ESPN, Buck was still under contract with FOX, he had one yet left. Troy went to bat for Buck to bring him along to MNF with a huge contract.

And now that that contract is expiring, Buck was offered a new contract and Troy was not. Apparently Buck did not go to bat for Troy to keep the two together as a team and took the solo deal leaving Troy out. And that ticked Troy off.

Apparently ESPN wanted to replace Troy...possibly with Pat Mcafee.

Not sure where Troy will land...my guess is with CBS....possibly NBC.
