Brandon Aubrey has established himself as one of the NFL’s elite kickers since joining the Dallas Cowboys in 2023, and contract talks are heating up between the two parties ahead of Aubrey reaching restricted free agency next month.
According to Todd Archer of ESPN, the Cowboys have offered kicker Aubrey a deal that would make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, topping the $6.4 million average per season currently earned by Kansas City’s Harrison Butker. However, sources have told Archer that Aubrey’s agent, Todd France, is seeking a deal closer to $10 million per season, leaving a significant gap between the two sides.
If no agreement is reached, Dallas is expected to place a second-round tender on Aubrey, which would put a one-year offer on the table estimated at $5.8 million for the 2026 season. The tender would also enable the Cowboys to receive a second-round pick in the 2026 Draft this April if they decline to match any offer from another team.
Aubrey, who will turn 31 years old in March, began his professional career playing soccer after four years at the University of Notre Dame. After being released in 2018, Aubrey worked as a software engineer before deciding to switch to football. After two seasons with the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL, he signed with the Cowboys in July 2023. Since then, he is a three-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro, including a first-team nod in 2023. Aubrey was the NFL's scoring leader in 2023 and holds several league-wide records, including most consecutive made field goals to start a career and most career field goals of 60 yards or more.
