The Dallas Cowboys placed the $5.7 million second-round tender on kicker Brandon Aubrey, still hoping to sign the restricted free agent to a multi-year contract extension, ESPN reported Saturday.
The move allows Aubrey to sign an offer sheet with another team. The Cowboys would then have the right to match that offer or get back a second-round draft pick, which Dallas does not currently have after trading away their 2026 second-round selection for Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
The Cowboys and Aubrey have been in discussions about his future in Dallas since last summer's training camp but have not been able to reach an agreement.
Aubrey reportedly was offered a deal that would make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, displacing Harrison Butker of the Chiefs ($6.4 million annual average salary). But Aubrey, a Pro Bowl selection in all three of his seasons and first-team All-Pro in 2023, rejected the contract, according to multiple reports, and wants something closer to three times the total value of his rookie deal.
The 2025 season wrapped up a three-year, $2.695 million contract for Aubrey. He made 36 of 42 field goal-attempts (85.7%), including 11 of 17 from 50 or more yards, and 47 of 48 extra-point attempts.
For his career, Aubrey is 112 of 127 (88.2%) on field goals with a long of 65 yards, and 126 of 130 (96.9%) on extra points.
