That makes him the highest kicker in the HISTORY of football. 20 million dollars, no matter what, just seems like a MASSIVE gamble.
Now before I get into the rest of this, let me first say, I am happy Aubrey is staying with Dallas, but paying that much money is something that Jerry Jones loves to do.
The largest deal before this was Harrison Butker at $6.4m per year, and Aubrey gets $7m per year.
Down Year?
In terms of what we expect from Aubrey, 2025 felt like a down year, agree?
While using the restricted free agent tender would have Aubrey under contract only for 2026, the Cowboys could have used the franchise tag on him in 2027 to effectively keep him out of free agency.
Aubrey, who just turned 31, has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons. He has made six field goals from 60 yards or longer, the most in NFL history. Last season, he connected on 11-of-17 field goal attempts from 50 yards or more.
For his career, Aubrey has made 112 of 127 attempts with a career-long 65-yarder. In 2025, he connected on 36 of 42 tries, and the six misses were from 51 yards or longer.
