"The decision on Aubrey was announced earlier, making him one of the league's highest-paid kickers at $5.76 million. Talks will continue on a multi-year deal, with Aubrey seeking to move to the top of the compensation list for his position and Dallas hoping to bring down his salary cap number. If Aubrey plays 2026 on the tag, that full amount will count against the cap."
"Over the last three seasons, Bass has become a primary depth option at guard and has potential flexilbility at center, though he's never taken that job away from Hoffman. The RFA tender means that, even if a long-term deal is eventually reached, Bass will likely be the Cowboys' most expensive backup on the offensive line and could be expected to handle center as well."
"For Hoffman, this may allow him to pursue starting opportunities that he wouldn't have in Dallas behind Cooper Beebe, Tyler Smith, or Tyler Booker. The door is likely still open for him to return, but only after testing the market and agreeing to a team-friendly contract as a key reserve."
The Dallas Cowboys finalized their restricted free agent decisions ahead of the free agency period. Brandon Aubrey, the kicker, received a second-round tender at $5.76 million, making him one of the league's highest-paid at his position, with ongoing negotiations for a multi-year deal. Guard T.J. Bass also received a second-round tender matching Aubrey's salary. Center Brock Hoffman and safety Juanyeh Thomas were not tendered and became unrestricted free agents. Hoffman can now pursue starting opportunities elsewhere, while Thomas can negotiate freely with other teams. The decisions align with recent rumors and reflect the Cowboys' roster priorities and salary cap considerations.
