Things have escalated with Brandon Aubrey.
We are only at Wednesday, but this week has likely felt long for the Dallas Cowboys relative to their kicker. On Tuesday it was reported that they have an offer out to make him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL at a rate of $7.5M annually, and the Dallas Morning News even reported that Aubrey turned that down in the name of wanting $10M per year.
The thing about that report is… someone disagrees with it.
Brandon Aubrey called the reported Cowboys offer ‘fake’
Nowadays players have an opportunity to defend themselves on social media. They can take to different platforms and share their opinions, and on Wednesday that is exactly what Brandon did.
This is an Instagram Reel where 105.3 The Fan was discussing the report from the DMN. Aubrey responded with one word and called it ‘fake’ which suggests that it was not real.
Negotiations of this level often involve a back and forth. The Cowboys have one position, Brandon has another, and hopefully they will meet in the middle soon enough.
It would be interesting to hear what Brandon feels is fake about the offer. Is it the offer Dallas has? Is it that he wants $10M per season? His disagreement would be important perspective.
For now… we wait.
