Brandon Aubrey, the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, has had an impressive rookie season in the NFL after transitioning from professional soccer and the USFL. His consistent performance and reliability, particularly under pressure, suggest he could secure a lucrative contract when his current deal expires.
Factors Influencing His Next Contract:
1. Current Salary: Aubrey is on a modest rookie deal as an undrafted player, likely earning around the league minimum ($750,000–$900,000 per year).
2. Performance: If he continues to perform at a high level (e.g., maintaining accuracy over 90%, making clutch kicks), his value will increase significantly.
3. Market Comparison:
Top-tier NFL kickers like Justin Tucker earn around $6 million annually.
Solid veterans earn between $2–4 million per year.
Prediction for Aubrey’s Next Contract:
If he maintains or improves his performance:
Term: Likely a 3–4 year deal.
Average Annual Salary: Between $3–5 million per year, depending on demand and team negotiations.
Total Value: $10–20 million range, potentially with guarantees tied to his accuracy and longevity.
If he becomes one of the league's elite, he could eventually push closer to the top-tier salaries for kickers.
