Cowboys Kicker Aubrey Secures League-High Deal

0:00On April 20, Dallas Cowboys just locked in their starkicker brand in Aubrey with a four-year extension worth $28 million. That's a leak high $7 million per year on average, plus $20 million guaranteed the biggest ever for a kicker. The deal got finalized on Monday, keeping Aubrey in Dallas long-term. Earlier this offseason, Aubrey was on a second-round restricted free agent tender set to pay him $5.77 million in $20. 26. No other teams jumped in with offers before the deadline, so Dallas knew he'd stick around at least one more year. Talks really heated up over the weekend, hitting that $7 million target the Cowboys had in mind. Aubrey's story is wild. He didn't even start kicking in football until 2022, with the Birmingham stallions after a soccer background. He crushed it there, landed with the Cowboys in 2023, and now he's a three-time pro-bola. Career field goal rate sits at 88.2%, and he's 24 of 27 from 50 yards or longer.

1:01This move sets a new bar for the kicker market, jumping it past $6.5 million from earlier deals. For Dallas, it means a reliable weapon for their high-powered offense, no more worries about special teams drama. With Aubrey secured through at least 2029, the Cowboys shift focus to this week's draft and whatever comes next on the roster front. Solid win for stability heading into the season.
