Cowboys Step Up Bid to Re-Sign Kicker Brandon Aubrey, Readying RFA Tender Backstop

Team executive Stephen Jones outlined a tender fallback to accompany ongoing talks for a multi‑year deal with the All‑Pro kicker.

Overview

  • Stephen Jones told The Dallas Morning News the sides have exchanged offers and the club will tender Aubrey before the deadline if necessary.
  • Aubrey is a restricted free agent, giving Dallas right of first refusal and the option to use first‑ or second‑round tenders during the offer‑sheet window.
  • Because Aubrey entered the league undrafted, analysts note the original‑round tender does not apply and a second‑round level is the practical fallback.
  • RFAs can sign tenders through April 17, and rival teams may submit offer sheets that Dallas can match or take draft compensation tied to the tender level.
  • Dallas recently re‑signed running back Javonte Williams, and reporting indicates locking in Aubrey is next on the front office’s offseason priority list.
