Here’s the latest on Brandon Aubrey and the Dallas Cowboys.
-
Aubrey contract status in April 2026: The Cowboys placed a second-round tender on Aubrey for the 2026 season, keeping his rights while negotiations continued. This gives Dallas the ability to match any offer sheet and, if not matched, yields a second-round pick from the outside team. This tender keeps Aubrey with the Cowboys for the 2026 season unless a new long-term deal is reached or an offer sheet is accepted.[6][7][9]
-
Negotiation timeline and status: Through early 2026, talks remained active but unresolved, with reports indicating Aubrey seeking a top-market deal for a kicker and the Cowboys hoping to extend him, potentially staying near or above the $6–7 million annual range in talks. The Cowboys publicly emphasized their desire to keep him long-term, while Aubrey and his representation pursued a favorable agreement.[2][5][7][6]
-
Media coverage and implications: Multiple outlets highlighted Aubrey’s value to the Cowboys, noting his standout kicking performance and historical benchmarks (e.g., long-distance accuracy and success on 50+ yard attempts). The ongoing contract situation was a focal point of offseason discussions, with fans watching whether Dallas would pay a premium to lock him in beyond the tender.[5][7][2]
