"Aubrey has proven to be one of the league's best performers at the position during his three-year Cowboys career. Regularly connecting on long-range kicks, Aubrey's range has made him an obvious candidate for a major raise. Harrison Butker currently leads the way in terms of kicker compensation with an AAV of $6.4MM."
"The Cowboys have the option using an RFA tender in this case; the second-round tender would carry a projected cost of $5.81MM. Confirming a gap has long existed between team and player during negotiations, Clarence Hill Jr. of All City DLLS reports the Cowboys are 'comfortable' placing the second-round tender on Aubrey if it proves necessary."
"Per Hill, Dallas does not plan to increase its offer, an understandable stance given the fact the tender resides as a fallback option. He adds Aubrey's agent Todd France shut down negotiations until this week's Combine upon learning the Cowboys would not be willing to meet an asking price of $10MM per season."
Brandon Aubrey and the Dallas Cowboys have been negotiating a contract extension for several months without reaching an agreement. Dallas submitted an offer worth just under $7MM annually, which would make Aubrey the NFL's highest-paid kicker. Aubrey has established himself as one of the league's premier kickers during his three-year Cowboys tenure, regularly connecting on long-range kicks. As a pending restricted free agent, Aubrey cannot test the open market, but the Cowboys retain the option to place a second-round RFA tender valued at $5.81MM. Aubrey's agent Todd France halted negotiations after learning Dallas would not meet his $10MM annual asking price, though discussions remain cordial.
