Cowboys Poised to Use Second-Round Tender on Brandon Aubrey as Talks Stall

The All-Pro says he will test the market, creating the possibility of an offer sheet that forces Dallas to match or accept second-round compensation.

Overview

  • Aubrey called the one-year restricted tender "not the ideal" and said testing the market is the right move for his family, per the Dallas Morning News.
  • Dallas is expected to place a second-round RFA tender worth about $5.81 million, which grants matching rights and yields a second-round pick if the Cowboys decline to match.
  • The Cowboys have an offer on the table that would surpass Harrison Butker’s $6.4 million average, while Aubrey’s agent has sought roughly $10 million per year.
  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised Aubrey and confirmed a strong offer, as team executive Stephen Jones expressed optimism about reaching a deal.
  • The Packers have been reported to have contacted Aubrey’s representatives, and key dates loom with legal tampering on March 9, free agency opening March 11, and the RFA offer-sheet deadline on April 17.
