"For those unaware, Aubrey is a free agent, but he is a restricted free agent. Should the Cowboys not have a deal in place with him before free agency begins then they can place a tender on him relative to a first- or second-round pick. In that hypothetical a team could negotiate a deal with Aubrey, but the Cowboys would have the right of first refusal. If Dallas declined to match the offer then the team who made it to Aubrey would owe the Cowboys their draft pick according to the tender."
"Now that running back Javonte Williams has agreed to terms, the Cowboys are in talks to extend the contract of kicker Brandon Aubrey. "We've been working on a long-term deal for some time," Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones told The Dallas Morning News on Sunday. "We've exchanged offers and the goal is to get him signed. We'll tender him before the deadline if that's what we have to decide.""
"In a perfect world the situation would not reach that point. Last year the Cowboys managed to beat the proverbial clock with KaVontae Turpin as he was a restricted free agent. They also notably got in before the deadline with a deal for Osa Odighizuwa, although he was set to become an unrestricted free agent so the deadline in question was true free agency."
The Dallas Cowboys are actively pursuing a long-term contract extension with kicker Brandon Aubrey and are prepared to place a first- or second-round restricted free agent tender if a deal is not reached. Team executives have exchanged offers and identify signing Aubrey as a priority. As a restricted free agent, Aubrey would permit Dallas the right of first refusal and potential draft compensation if another team signs him and Dallas declines to match. The Cowboys have previously addressed similar deadlines successfully with KaVontae Turpin and Osa Odighizuwa, and the organization aims to resolve the situation before free agency begins.
