Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey's new contract gets promising update after Javonte Williams signing

Dallas is wasting no time rewarding its core contributors this offseason, and kicker Brandon Aubrey appears poised to be the next beneficiary. The development comes on the heels of the Cowboys’ three-year, $24 million agreement with running back Javonte Williams, a move that signals the front office’s intent to retain difference-makers before the market heats up further.

Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones told The Dallas Morning News on Sunday that negotiations with Aubrey have been ongoing for months. “We’ve been working on a long-term deal for some time,” Jones said. “We’ve exchanged offers and the goal is to get him signed.”

A restricted free agent, Aubrey has emerged as one of the most reliable specialists in the league. He has converted 112 of 127 career field-goal attempts (88.2 percent) and 126 of 130 extra-point tries (96.2 percent). His 65-yard make stands as the longest in franchise history, and he owns the NFL record for most career field goals from 60-plus yards.

Dallas values that consistency enough to make Aubrey its next budgetary priority, even while the club weighs whether to deploy the franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens. Jones reiterated that the organization prefers a multiyear pact but is prepared to issue a tender if talks stall. “We’ll tender him before the deadline if that’s what we have to decide,” he noted.

Industry projections suggest a new contract for Aubrey could approach $7 million per season, a figure that would elevate the All-Pro above every kicker currently on the pay scale. With discussions trending positively, both parties appear motivated to finalize a deal and keep the league’s most accurate long-range weapon in a Cowboys uniform.
