The Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement with Brandon Aubrey on a four-year, $28 million extension, which will include $20 million guaranteed and pay him $7 million annually, making him the highest-paid kicker in NFL history, his agents, Todd France and A.J. Stevens of Athletes First confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday (April 20).
"Brandon Aubrey and the Dallas Cowboys reached agreement today on a deal that will make Aubrey the highest paid kicker in NFL history. The four-year extension makes Aubrey the first kicker to earn $7 million per year and receive $20 million guaranteed, per Todd France and AJ Stevens of @AthletesFirst," Schefter wrote on his X account.
The Cowboys also confirmed the deal, citing "multiple reports including NFL media," on Monday. Aubrey, 31, who began his professional football career with the Birmingham Stallions for two seasons in the United Football League, was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his three NFL seasons with the Cowboys and has made 112 of 127 field goal attempts for an 88.2% career field goal percentage.
"I think he's outstanding," Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones said of Aubrey while discussing a potential long-term deal at the NFL Combine in February. "Love his story, love the fact that the story is with the Cowboys. We feel good that what we are talking about is an appreciation of what he can do for us."
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer was also an advocate for Aubrey, who he has publicly deemed a "weapon" numerous times.
"When you build the right culture here, the players want to stay," Schottenheimer said of Aubrey during the NFL Combine. "Players want to be here. And so, as the negotiation and the business side of it happens, the good thing for me, and the good thing for us — the Cowboys Organization — is knowing that Brandon doesn't want to go anywhere."
