Why He Could Stay<\/p>\n
To put it plainly, he may not have a choice in the matter. [Brandon] Aubrey is a restricted free agent in 2025, and that means though he can negotiate with other teams for the first time in his young NFL career, the Cowboys hold the right to refuse letting him depart for other pastures. They could place a first- or second-round tender on him to ensure that, should he get an offer they refuse to match, the Cowboys would receive expensive compensation in return.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s clear is that they have no intentions of parting with him, having finally found the successor and rightful heir to Dan Bailey after years of searching, and failing; and Aubrey has found a home in Dallas on a team that, once the defense is repaired, could be a contender \u2014 so this is likely the pasture he wants to continue grazing in.<\/p>\n
Why He Could Leave<\/p>\n
The only reason Aubrey could consider leaving is money, if that is his primary driver because, let\u2019s be honest, we\u2019re talking about free agents here, and that means money is always atop the list of talking points. But, again, the Cowboys can match any offer he receives, and make another team pay up in a big way to sign him, and would that team be located somewhere Aubrey truly wants to go (e.g., outdoor stadium? climate change?).<\/p>\n
Aubrey has made a name for himself in Dallas, the team that gave him a chance to show what he could do and that stuck with him even during a training camp workout that, admittedly, wasn\u2019t all that great prior to the release of Vizcaino \u2014 seeing the potential in him from Day 1. So, sure, Aubrey could leave, but not without the Cowboys allowing it \u2026 and they likely won\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Why He Could Stay To put it plainly, he may not have a choice in the matter.
