"The Cowboys initially discovered Brandon Aubrey ahead of the 2023 NFL season. His story about playing soccer in college at Notre Dame, pursuing Major League Soccer, and ultimately being convinced by his wife that he should give NFL kicking a try is well-documented. Brandon has been one of the best kickers in the entire NFL his 3 years with the Cowboys."
"Given that the Cowboys have placed a second-round tender on Aubrey, other teams are free to negotiate a deal with him. Should a hypothetical team want Aubrey badly enough they can agree to a deal, and Dallas will have the right to match it. If the Cowboys do not want to do so then Aubrey would sign with the hypothetical team in question and that team would owe Dallas a second-round pick."
"It is worth noting that Kansas City's Harrison Butker currently leads all kickers with an APY of $6.4M. That report was corrected by its author in Calvin Watkins and all reports still corroborated that Dallas has made an offer to make Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in the NFL."
The Dallas Cowboys officially placed a second-round tender on kicker Brandon Aubrey worth $5.76M. Aubrey joined the Cowboys before the 2023 season after playing soccer at Notre Dame and pursuing MLS before his wife encouraged him to try NFL kicking. He has performed as one of the league's best kickers over three seasons, particularly excelling on long-distance field goals. The tender allows other teams to negotiate with Aubrey, but Dallas retains the right to match any offer or receive a second-round pick if he signs elsewhere. During NFL Combine week, reports indicated contentious negotiations between Aubrey and the Cowboys, with Dallas reportedly offering to make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, surpassing Kansas City's Harrison Butker at $6.4M APY.
