Dallas Cowboys Secure Brandon Aubrey with Second-Round Tender
The Dallas Cowboys have secured kicker Brandon Aubrey with a second-round tender valued at $5.76 million. This decision enables Aubrey to explore free agency, which officially begins on Monday at 11 a.m. The Cowboys retain the right to match any offer he receives, ensuring they have a chance to keep him.
Brandon Aubrey’s Career Achievements
Aubrey has experienced significant success in his first three NFL seasons, being named both an All-Pro and a Pro Bowler. His performance has placed him among the elite kickers in the league.
Contract Negotiations
The Cowboys initially aimed to make Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in the NFL. Reports indicate that they offered a deal of $6.4 million, surpassing current Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s contract but falling short of Aubrey’s agent Todd France’s request for $10 million. Negotiations have resumed positively at the NFL combine.
Additional Tender Moves by the Cowboys
In addition to Aubrey, Dallas also placed a second-round tender on offensive lineman T.J. Bass. However, they are not expected to tender center Brock Hoffman or safety Juanyeh Thomas, which would allow them to enter unrestricted free agency.
Implications of the Tender
- If the Cowboys do not match any offers for Aubrey, they will receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.
- Aubrey’s tender represents a significant salary increase compared to his previous earnings.
- The current landscape suggests a competitive free agency period ahead for the Cowboys and their restricted free agents.
