Brandon Aubrey contract: Dallas Cowboys kicker agrees to record-setting four-year, $28 million extension

The Dallas Cowboys have locked in one of the NFL’s most reliable and powerful legs for the long term. Brandon Aubrey, the former soccer player turned record-breaking kicker, has agreed to a four-year, $28 million contract extension with the team.

Details about the deal

The deal includes a hefty $20 million guaranteed, making Brandon Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in NFL history on both total value and guarantees. At an average of $7 million per year, it tops the previous benchmarks set by players like Ka’imi Fairbairn and Harrison Butker.

From undrafted talent to NFL record holder

Since joining the Dallas Cowboys in 2023 as an undrafted free agent, Brandon Aubrey has quickly become one of the league’s most exciting special teams weapons. The 31-year-old has made six career field goals of 60 yards or longer, an NFL record that showcases his booming leg and clutch ability.

Aubrey’s accuracy has been equally impressive. He has converted 88.2% of his field goals (112 of 127) and an outstanding 96.9% of his extra points (126 of 130) through three seasons. His consistency has turned long-distance kicks into expected outcomes rather than highlight-reel surprises.

All-Pro and Pro Bowl Honors highlight rapid rise

Brandon Aubrey earned All-Pro honors in his rookie season and has received Pro Bowl nods in all three of his NFL campaigns. His ability to deliver under pressure has made him a standout in Dallas, even during challenging times for the franchise.

The contract talks followed the usual Cowboys offseason drama. Dallas had placed a second-round tender worth about $5.76 million on Aubrey earlier this spring. Shortly after, Houston Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn signed a short-term extension that briefly claimed the title of the league’s richest kicker deal. That record lasted only a few days.

Aubrey’s new agreement ends any uncertainty and allows the team to focus on building around its proven talent. The extension highlights how much value the Cowboys place on his leg strength and reliability in today’s evolving NFL kicking game, where long-range accuracy is increasingly vital.

Looking ahead

With financial security now in place, Brandon Aubrey can shift his attention fully to the field. He has already set the mark for most 60-yard field goals in a career. Next on his radar could be chasing or surpassing the NFL’s longest field goal record, currently held by Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little at 70 yards.
