The Dallas Cowboys have plenty to sort out before the franchise-tag deadline hits, and it’s not just about wide receiver George Pickens. All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey is another name on the list, and his situation is getting a bit complicated.
Aubrey falls under restricted free-agent status, which typically keeps players from walking out the door. Teams hold more cards in these scenarios. But that doesn’t mean Dallas can just sit back and relax.
Executive Stephen Jones addressed the matter Monday, confirming the organization wants Aubrey back. The problem is that contract talks have hit a snag.
According to NFL insider Clarence Hill Jr., Dallas threw an offer on the table that would make Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in the league. But he is pushing for more money than what the Cowboys are willing to fork over right now, and that’s where things stand.
