The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly made kicker Brandon Aubrey the richest kicker in NFL history.
The Cowboys announced Tuesday that they signed Aubrey to a four-year, $28 million contract extension, with multiple outlets reporting the terms. The 31-year-old becomes the first kicker in NFL history to earn $7 million per season.
Aubrey has spent three seasons with the Cowboys and made the Pro Bowl in all of them. In his career, Aubrey has hit 112 of 127 field goals for a field goal percentage of 88.2%.

Not only has he made a remarkable amount of his kicks, but has shown impressive range with a career 65-yarder, which is the franchise record for longest field goal.
Aubrey’s path to NFL stardom has not been linear. He attended high school in the Dallas area and played soccer at Notre Dame before being taken 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 kicking career. Aubrey spent two years in the USFL and signed with the Cowboys before the 2023 training camp.
He had as good a start to a career as possible, breaking an NFL record for most punts made without a miss to start his career with 35. It was the first of many records he would set over 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, as he was also the first with three of at least 60 yards in the same season.
His six field goals of more than 60 yards are the most in NFL history.
