Packers legend warns Jerry Jones about Brandon Aubrey’s contract
Brandon Aubrey’s value to the Dallas Cowboys has caught the attention of a Green Bay Packers legend, who has issued a strong warning to team owner Jerry Jones regarding the kicker’s contract situation.
The Dallas Cowboys have been no strangers to contract negotiations over recent NFL offseasons. This year, the ongoing drama culminated in a blockbuster trade that sent superstar Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, a move that has drawn considerable criticism toward Jones for his slow approach in securing contracts for key players.
Aubrey’s Impact on the Cowboys
Among the critical figures needing a contract extension is All-Pro kicker Brandon Aubrey. Since entering the league, Aubrey has established himself as one of the most reliable kickers, proving to be essential to the Cowboys’ success. His consistent performance has made him a pivotal weapon in their arsenal.
With the Cowboys set to face the Packers in a highly anticipated primetime matchup, former Packers kicker Mason Crosby, the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, issued a direct message to Jones during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan. Crosby cautioned against underestimating Aubrey’s worth, emphasizing the importance of securing him financially.
Crosby’s Urgent Call to Action
“Jerry Jones, you get rid of Micah Parsons, but hey, you need to pay (Aubrey) because he’s going to set a new market for what kickers’ worth is just because of his ability to shorten that field,” Crosby stated, highlighting Aubrey’s unique capabilities.
In a season where the Cowboys have faced challenges, Aubrey has been a beacon of reliability. He kicked the game-winner in overtime against the New York Giants, showcasing his clutch abilities by tying the game with an impressive 64-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.
Aubrey’s Remarkable Performance
This season, Aubrey boasts an impeccable record, having converted all eight of his field-goal attempts. Over the course of his career, he has maintained an impressive success rate of 90.3%, successfully making 84 out of 93 attempts.
Given Aubrey’s rare talent and significant contributions to the Cowboys, the urgency for Jerry Jones to act swiftly on contract negotiations is apparent. Allowing a player of his caliber to slip away would be a misstep for the franchise.
As the Cowboys prepare to meet the Packers, the stakes are high not only for the game but also for the future of one of their most valuable players. The hope is that Jones prioritizes securing Aubrey’s contract, avoiding the pitfalls seen in previous negotiations.
