Overview

  • The Cowboys, which agreed Monday to a four-year, $28 million extension with Brandon Aubrey, made him the NFL’s highest-paid kicker.
  • The contract averages $7 million per year with $20 million guaranteed, according to agents Todd France and AJ Stevens of Athletes First.
  • Dallas earlier used a second-round restricted free-agent tender near $5.8 million, a move that deterred suitors because any team signing him would owe a second-round pick.
  • Aubrey’s track record features three Pro Bowls and All-Pro honors, 112-of-127 on field goals, and an NFL-record six makes from 60 yards or longer with a career long of 65.
  • The deal tops Ka’imi Fairbairn’s $6.5 million average and surpasses Harrison Butker’s prior marks, resetting kicker pay as the Cowboys turn to other offseason priorities.
