The Dallas Cowboys made Brandon Aubrey the highest-paid kicker in NFL history on Monday, his agents at Athletes First confirmed.
The four-year, $28 million extension makes him the first kicker to earn $7 million per season. The deal also includes $20 million guaranteed, another record for his position.
Aubrey, 31, displaces the Kansas City Chiefs' Harrison Butker, whose average annual salary is $6.4 million.
Aubrey earned first-team All-Pro honors as a 2023 rookie and was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons
Last season, he made 36 of 42 field goal-attempts (85.7%), including 11 of 17 from 50 or more yards, and 47 of 48 extra-point attempts. For his career, Aubrey is 112 of 127 (88.2%) on field goals with a long of 65 yards, and 126 of 130 (96.9%) on extra points.
A former Notre Dame soccer player who became a first-round MLS draft pick in 2017, Aubrey did not pursue a football career until 2019, after he was released by a second-division USL soccer club. He now holds the NFL record with six career field goals of 60 or more yards.
The Cowboys had placed a $5.7 million second-round tender on Aubrey last month while trying to work out a long-term extension.
