The Dallas Cowboys have wasted no time in rewarding one of their biggest difference-makers. Fresh off a heroic Week 2 performance against the New York Giants, the team has agreed to a long-term extension with standout kicker Brandon Aubrey.
The deal, confirmed Tuesday morning, ensures that Aubrey will remain in Dallas well beyond the end of his original three-year rookie contract. It’s a bold statement by the Cowboys, signaling their belief that the 29-year-old has become one of the most reliable legs in the NFL.
Aubrey’s journey to this moment has been nothing short of remarkable. Signed as a free agent in 2023 after a stint in the USFL with the Birmingham Stallions, he quickly silenced any doubts about his background. In just two seasons, he’s transformed from an undrafted experiment into a Pro Bowl-level weapon.
That clutch moment may have been the final push ownership needed. According to league insiders, the new contract locks Aubrey in for four more years and is valued at nearly $20 million — a figure that places him among the highest-paid kickers in the league.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised the move, calling Aubrey “a cornerstone for our special teams unit.” Teammates echoed that sentiment, with Dak Prescott noting how much confidence the team has every time Aubrey lines up.
Aubrey himself remained humble when asked about the extension. “All I ever wanted was a chance. The Cowboys gave me that, and I’m proud to keep wearing this star for years to come,”
he said.
For a franchise that has long valued consistency in pressure moments, this signing provides both stability and star power. And for Brandon Aubrey, it’s validation that his unconventional path to the NFL has led to a storybook rise.
