Overview
- Under the tender, other teams may submit an offer sheet for Aubrey, but the Cowboys can match; if they decline, the signing team must surrender a second-round pick.
- Contract talks have stalled, with ESPN reporting Dallas offered close to $7 million annually while Aubrey’s agent sought roughly $10 million per year.
- Aubrey said he plans to test the restricted market if necessary, calling the tender a significant raise but “not ideal for any player.”
- The tender currently places Aubrey third among kickers by 2026 pay behind Harrison Butker and Jake Elliott; he is a three-time Pro Bowler with an NFL-record six field goals of 60-plus yards.
- Dallas also issued a second-round tender to offensive lineman T.J. Bass, and the team no longer holds its 2026 second-round pick after the Quinnen Williams trade.
