Cowboys Kicker Aubrey Secures Record-Breaking Deal

0:00On April 20, Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey just locked in a record-breaking four-year deal worth $28 million dollars, with $20 million guaranteed. That bumps his annual pay to $7 million, topping the previous high set by Harrison Bucker's $6.4 million per year. At 31 years old, he's the highest-paid kicker in NFL history. Agents, Todd France, and AJ Stevens negotiated the extension, keeping Aubrey out of free agency after his restricted free agent status. The Cowboys dodged using the franchise tag next year and secured him long-term, especially after he hit probals in his first three seasons and owns. The most-filled goals from 60 yards or longer. Fans are split thrilled he's staying instead of trading him for a second-round pick, but some call it a huge risk after his 2025 season. He went 36 of 42 on field goals overall, but missed six from 51 yards or more, way up from his first two years when he only. Missed three total from that range.

1:00The deal fits Jerry Jones' style of big early moves, like signing Javante Williams before summer. Aubrey's career stats shine with 112 of 127 makes, including a 65-yarder, but he needs all pro-form too. Justify it, amid Dallas's history of splashy contracts, fizzling out. Now the Cowboys shift to the NFL draft this week and sorting George Pickens, while banking on offense to drop 30 points a game again. Defense remains the wildcard, but locking in Aubrey feels like a solid step forward.
