Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman is among the 112 former players, coaches and contributors on the Pro Football Hall of Fame's preliminary list of modern-era candidates.Aikman, who is in his first year of eligibility, is expected to join ex-Cowboys Michael Irvin and Rayfield Wright among the 15 finalists. Irvin, in his first year of eligibility, made the last cut in February and thus automatically will join Wright as a finalist, as will New York Giants linebacker Harry Carson.
