Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Cowboys locked up Brandon Aubrey at a reasonable market rate, earning a B- CVI that reflects solid value for a reliable kicker entering his prime. At $5.8M for one year, Dallas is paying appropriate compensation for a solid starter at the position, avoiding both the premium attached to elite kickers and the risk of bargain-hunting in free agency. Aubrey's production justifies this investment — he's proven dependable from distance and clutch in high-pressure moments, qualities that become invaluable during playoff runs. The one-year structure gives both sides flexibility while allowing the Cowboys to evaluate whether he's worth a longer-term commitment, though it does create potential uncertainty heading into 2025. This deal represents smart roster management by Dallas, securing a key special teams contributor without breaking the bank or creating long-term salary cap complications that often plague teams who overinvest at the kicker position.

Performance Analysis

Brandon Aubrey entered the NFL as an undrafted specialist and quickly established himself as one of Dallas's most reliable weapons in the kicking game. Through 51 career games, the 31-year-old has earned a C+ overall grade, sitting squarely in the middle tier of NFL placekickers. His 2023 breakout — graded A+ — remains the defining proof of concept that elite-level production is within his range. The concern heading into 2026 is a troubling two-season regression, sliding from a C- in 2024 to another C- in 2025. His current field goal accuracy sits at 85.7%, essentially matching the NFL average of 85.0% but falling well short of the elite threshold of 93.0% set by kickers like Evan McPherson and Tyler Bass in their best seasons. Aubrey is no longer operating as a difference-maker — he's become a replacement-level specialist who needs to recapture that 2023 form to justify a long-term roster spot. The trajectory here is the most pressing storyline entering next season. A kicker who graded out at A+ just two years ago clearly possesses the mechanical foundation to perform at a high level. If Aubrey can close the gap between his current 85.7% accuracy and the elite 93.0% benchmark, he has the ceiling to re-emerge as one of the NFC's better specialists — but another C-range season in Dallas could put his future with the organization in serious jeopardy.

Aubrey's extension positions Dallas's special teams as a competitive advantage through 2028.
