Cowboys Sign Highest-Paid Kicker, Aim for Defense in Draft

0:00On April 20th, the Dallas Cowboys just locked in kicker Brandon Aubrey with a deal that makes him the highest paid kicker in NFL history, coming off. Their second straight playoff miss with a 7 win, 9 loss, 1 tie season. Earlier this off season, they traded for Ed rusher Rashan Gary to beef up the roster, and now, with the 2026 draft days away, this Aubrey. Move feels like a slam dunk. Aubrey's no ordinary kicker. He's a former pro soccer player with the league's strongest leg, nailing a 64 yard feel goal last year, hitting. 85.7% of his tries, and 97.9% on extras. Fans lit up social media with excitement, and star-wide receiver CD Lamb jumped in on Instagram, jokingly asking Aubrey to spot him a light one. 100 bucks after celebrating the news. Lamb's already tied down long term on a 4 year, $136 million contract, giving Dallas elite talent at quarterback, receiver, and now kicker.

1:02Their prime to target that leaky defense, ranked 30th in yards allowed, right out the gate in the draft.
