Cowboys Place Second-Round Tender on Kicker Aubrey

0:00On March 7th, the Dallas Cowboys just placed a second round tinder on their all pro kicker Brandon Aubrey for $5.76 million. This move sets a price tag that protects him from leaving without compensation while opening the door for other teams to make offers. It's like a lighter version of the franchise tag where Aubrey could sign an offer sheet elsewhere, but the Cowboys get the right to match it. If they pass, they pocket a second round draft pick in return, which could fill a gap after past trades. Fans love Aubrey's powerful kicks in perfect accuracy, calling him one of the best in the league, but many see the appeal in extra draft capital for. Rebuilding the defense. Losing him would mean hunting for a replacement, a tough spot given recent special teams changes. Possible paths ahead include the Cowboys matching a richer deal from rivals, committing big money at kicker, but keeping their edge, or negotiating A, direct long-term extension to avoid drama. Losing him away for that pick remains tempting amid free agency needs.
