Brandon Aubrey Pursues $10 Million Annual Contract
The Dallas Cowboys are positioning themselves to make Brandon Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in NFL history as he pursues a lucrative contract. Aubrey is seeking an annual salary of nearly $10 million, exceeding the team’s offer of approximately $7.5 million per year.
Brandon Aubrey’s Contract Negotiations
Currently, Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs holds the record for the highest annual average salary for a kicker at $6.4 million. This sets a significant benchmark as the Cowboys negotiate with Aubrey, whose agent is Todd France, also known for representing quarterback Dak Prescott.
Contract discussions for Aubrey began prior to the 2025 season, but the talks have reached an impasse. Stephen Jones, the Cowboys’ executive vice president, commented on the ongoing discussions, noting, “It has been a journey, but we haven’t been able to reach an agreement yet.” He expressed a desire to finalize a deal soon.
Aubrey’s Status as a Restricted Free Agent
- Brandon Aubrey is a restricted free agent as of 2026.
- The Cowboys plan to offer a second-round tender worth $5.8 million if negotiations do not conclude favorably.
- Aubrey’s notable performances include making the Pro Bowl every season of his career.
Aubrey has set an NFL record with six field goals of 60 yards or more, including a career-long kick of 65 yards. Despite the current stalemate, he is expected to remain with the Cowboys for the 2026 season, whether through a long-term contract or the tender offer.
