📖 Full Retelling
Indianapolis -- The Dallas Cowboys and Pro Bowl kicker Brandon Aubrey's agent Todd France are negotiating a contract extension in Indianapolis on February 24, 2026, with the Cowboys offering to make Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in the NFL while France is pushing for a deal closer to $10 million per season. The Cowboys have presented an offer exceeding the current league-best $6.4 million average per season held by Kansas City's Harrison Butker, but the negotiations have stalled despite starting last season. 'It's been a journey,' executive vice president Stephen Jones commented on the situation, 'but we hadn't been able to get to a point where we can all agree, so it hadn't gotten done. But we'd love to get him done.' Aubrey, who turns 31 next month, has established himself as one of the league's premier kickers, having been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons and making more field goals from 60 yards or more in NFL history with six.
