Cowboys Draft: Record Extension, Prime Picks

0:00The Dallas Cowboy has just locked up their all pro kicker brand in Aubrey with a record-breaking extension right before NFL Draft Week. He's getting a signing bonus of $8.25 million, a base salary of $1.5 million, with a cap hit of $3.4 million and dead cap of $6.75 million. That clears a big hurdle off their plate. Now with that sorted, Dallas has $16 million in cap space for the 2026 draft, ranking 21st league-wide. They're set to spend $9.1 million on their draft class, and they've got two first round picks at number 12 and number 20 overall. In their division though, they're hurting for Roon Least in the NFC East. Washington's sitting pretty with $50 million, Philly has $33 million, and the Giants edge them at $18 million. Still, that capless the Cowboys play smart, with a stick and pick approach to grab impact guys Thursday night. League-wide, the Tennessee Titans lead with $64 million in space, followed by Washington at $50 million, and the Chargers at $48 million.

1:05Teens like the Jets and Cardinals are loaded too, while squads like the Bears and Dolphins scrape by with just $1 million each. Dallas heads into the draft in Pittsburgh from April 23rd through 25th, ready to make moves, and with those prime picks, they're won. Team fans won't want to miss building for the future.
