Cowboys Lock Down Kicker Aubrey with Second-Round Tender

0:00On March 7th, the Dallas Cowboys have slapped a second-round tender on their star-kicker Brandon Aubrey to lock him down for another year. As a restrictive free agent, this means any team can offer him a deal, but the Cowboys get the right to match it or snag a second-round draft pick if. They pass. Talks between Aubrey and the Cowboys stalled recently, even though they were close to making him the highest-paid kicker in the league. The two sides just couldn't bridge the gap on his exact value. As an analyst, get where the Cowboys are fighting so hard for him. The three-time pro-ball kicker is one of the league's most dependable from long range, hitting 36 of 42 field goals last season and 35 of 44 from 50 yards or more in his career. Reports say the disagreement came down to about $4 million, which feels small but is huge for a kicker position. Still, it's rare to see such a high-tender on one. No other team seems likely to chase Aubrey with a second-round pick on the line, and the Cowboys would probably match anyway, so expect him back in.
