Aubrey, who has been All‑Pro for three seasons and holds the record for most 60‑plus‑yard kicks, would become the NFL’s highest‑paid kicker if he secures the $10 million deal. The Cowboys’ offer, while record‑setting for a kicker, falls short of his expectations.
Negotiations have been ongoing since before the season, and the Cowboys may place a second‑round tender worth roughly $5.8 million if an extension is not reached. Aubrey’s leverage could trigger a market reset for the position.
