The Cowboys’ latest offer of roughly $7.5 million per season would make Aubrey the highest‑paid kicker in the NFL, but the 23‑year‑old has said he wants closer to $10 million. The move would dramatically reset the market for specialists.
Aubrey has been All‑Pro in each of his three seasons and is the most accurate long‑range kicker in league history, with six 60‑plus‑yard field goals and a 65‑yard kick that was the second‑longest in NFL history. Negotiations have been ongoing since before the start of last season, and the Cowboys may tender a second‑round offer of about $5.8 million if an extension is not reached.
