Overview
- - Multiple reports say Dallas offered a multi-year deal topping Harrison Butker’s $6.4 million AAV, while separate reports peg Aubrey’s ask near $10 million; Aubrey, his wife and his agent publicly labeled the circulating figures as fake or false.
- - Executive vice president Stephen Jones said talks have been ongoing since before last season and acknowledged the sides have not reached agreement.
- - If no extension is struck, outlets report the Cowboys are expected to use a second-round RFA tender worth about $5.8 million for 2026, preserving matching rights or yielding a second-round pick if he departs on an offer sheet.
- - Insider reporting indicates Dallas is comfortable proceeding with the second-round tender rather than increasing its current offer.
- - Aubrey’s market case rests on elite production: three All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections, an NFL-record six field goals of 60-plus yards, and a 2025 line of 36-for-42 on field goals with a 64-yard long.
