The Dallas Cowboys reportedly made kicker Brandon Aubrey the richest kicker in NFL history.
The Cowboys announced Tuesday that they had signed Aubrey to a four-year contract extension worth $28 million, with multiple media outlets reporting on the terms. The 31-year-old will become the first kicker in NFL history to earn $7 million per season.
Aubrey spent three seasons with the Cowboys, each making the Pro Bowl. During his career, Aubrey made 112 of 127 field goals for a field goal percentage of 88.2%.

He not only made a remarkable number of kicks, but also demonstrated impressive range, with a career-high 65 yards, which is the franchise record for longest field goal.
Aubrey’s path to NFL stardom was not linear. He went to high school in the Dallas area and played soccer at Notre Dame before being selected by Toronto FC in the 2017 MLS draft.

He was working as a software engineer in Arlington, where the Cowboys play at AT&T Stadium, when his wife encouraged him to pursue a career as a kicker. Aubrey spent two years in the USFL and signed with the Cowboys before training camp in 2023.
He had as good a start to his career as possible, as he set an NFL record for most foul-free kicks to begin his career at age 35. It was the first of many records he would set during his three years with the Cowboys.

Aubrey became the first player to make three field goals of at least 55 yards in the same game against the Detroit Lions last year, while he was also the first to make three field goals of at least 60 yards in the same season.
His six field goals of 60+ yards are the most in NFL history.
