All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey clarifies contract rumors, revealing "random numbers" and incomplete information, while expressing his desire to remain a Cowboy.
The contract situation of Dallas Cowboys All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey was the big headline of the offseason.
There were reports of what Aubrey wanted, thought to be around $10 million APY, which he and his wife later stated wasn't true.
The Cowboys also reportedly offered a contract that would make Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in football, at roughly $7 million APY.
Still, it appears that both sides are still a little way apart on what a good contract will look like. And since the scouting combine, Aubrey's future, much like George Pickens' has faded into the background with free agency heating up.
But now, as things cool down, Aubrey is again the topic of conversation, with his contract not moving forward in the way we thought.
And he has a message for those clinging to the numbers that were reported earlier, and he has made quite a comment.
"It's been a lot of incorrect information and people clinging onto random numbers," Aubrey said via The Dumb Zone on Instagram. "There's incomplete information dumped probably from both sides."
It is rather interesting that Aubrey said from "both sides" as his camp and the Cowboys might be guilty of fudging the numbers.
Still, there is no denying that Aubrey will be the highest-paid kicker in football, eventually.
It is just a matter of when, and we have seen Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn put pen to paper on a two-year, $13 million deal ($6.5 million APY), making him the highest-paid in football.
Aubrey is likely to exceed that rather easily. But we already knew that. Still, we wait.
There was a thought that Aubrey might be looking elsewhere in 2026, before the Cowboys placed a second-round tender on him, and so far, nothing has come of Dallas' decision.
But Aubrey wants it to be known that he wants to stay a Cowboy.
"I wanna be here in Dallas, and it seems like the Cowboys want me here, so something will happen eventually," he added.
So both sides want to resolve this, but as we know, money makes things more complicated.
Aubrey has a number in mind that he's comfortable with, so do the Cowboys.
Now the pair just have to meet in the middle to thrash out what many think should be a straightforward deal.
