Brandon Aubrey says a new contract offer didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
Things have escalated with Brandon Aubrey.<\/p>\n
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 <\/em>even reported that Aubrey turned that down in the name of wanting $10M per year.<\/p>\n
The thing about that report is\u2026 someone disagrees with it.<\/p>\n
Brandon Aubrey called the reported Cowboys offer \u2018fake\u2019<\/p>\n
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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
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 \u2018fake\u2019 which suggests that it was not real.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
An insight into how the Cowboys will attack offensively in 2026.<\/p>\n
INDIANAPOLIS \u2013<\/strong> In 2025, the Cowboys offense was among the best in the NFL under new head coach and play caller Brian Schottenheimer as well as offensive coordinator Klayton Adams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The benefit that Dallas\u2019 offensive staff had in their first year together was the unknown. Schottenheimer hadn\u2019t called plays since his final year as offensive coordinator of the Seahawks in 2020. Adams was a first-time coordinator who got to help design concepts for the first time. Heading into year two, Adams and the staff know they need to stay ahead of the curve now that there\u2019s a year\u2019s worth of film on their offense for opposing teams to study.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a conversation that we\u2019re constantly having,\u201d Adams said. \u201cPeople, I\u2019m not sure where it came from, but everybody\u2019s got this term like \u2018Oh, we\u2019re going to run it back, or \u2018we\u2019re just going to roll it back out there,\u2019 and to me, that\u2019s the worst mindset you can possibly have, is \u2018Alright, here\u2019s some stuff that worked last year, let\u2019s just try it again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving said that, you\u2019ve also got to understand what your core building blocks are and who you are as an offense, and that\u2019s going to change a little bit every year as well. But in my opinion, if you just go back out there and you\u2019re like, \u2018here it is,\u2019 there\u2019s too many good football players in this league and too many good coaches in this league for that to work. So you\u2019ve constantly got to be trying to seek the edge and find the sharper points of how you can get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the Cowboys have begun and continue their self-scouting process in the offseason, one of the places that Adams has used to draw inspiration for innovative tweaks to the offseason were Dallas\u2019 interviews for their defensive coordinator position, which was filled by Christian Parker.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust hearing specifically how some of the teams that we were playing against are trying to defend us, and some of the things that concern them or worry them, is good for me to hear,\u201d Adams said. \u201cBecause quite frankly, I\u2019m not always thinking of it from that same perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo just hearing some of the things that people are saying, \u2018Hey, this is what kept me up at night,\u2019 or \u2018this is what we\u2019re really worried that you guys were going to do.\u2019 It just gives me thoughts and ideas on how we want to attack and use those guys going forward.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
One of the best edge rushers in the NFL draft is liking what the Cowboys have to offer.<\/p>\n
There are very few things that fans of the Texas A&M Aggies love more than their beloved school, but for some of them, one of those things might be their NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Being able to cheer for an Aggie legend and their favorite NFL team would be icing on the cake for many fans, and that could be a possibility if Cashius Howell was picked by Jerry Jones and his staff when the NFL Draft happens in April.<\/p>\n
Howell recalled his interview with the Cowboys during talks with the media before the NFL Combine, and how his skill set would transfer to \u201cAmerica\u2019s Team\u201d at the next level.<\/p>\n
Staying In Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Howell is preparing for the NFL Combine, ready to show off his physical abilities after dominating at the college level this past season. Before that, though, he had a formal interview with the Cowboys, part of the process for the teams and players to have early conversations in the process.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey put in a small install for me,\u201d Howell said of his interview with the Cowboys. \u201cBut you know, within that install, I definitely feel like you know, I\u2019d be able to adapt and effectively play that role in a 3-4 defense at that level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Mel Kiper of ESPN has Dallas going for its biggest position of need, cornerback, and taking LSU\u2019s Mansoor Delane 12th, then coming in at 20th with Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor.<\/p>\n
[\u2026]<\/p>\n
Consider Delane to be part of a new consensus. NFL.com\u2019s Gennaro Filice also has Delane, by all accounts the first cornerback off the board, going to the Cowboys in his mock draft.<\/p>\n
He writes: \u201cSmooth, sticky and savvy in coverage, Delane\u2019s a no-brainer pick for the team that just fielded the league\u2019s worst pass defense. While the Cowboys allowed 251.1 passing yards per game, Delane gave up 163 on the season<\/em>. That figure comes courtesy of PFF, who also credited the LSU cover man with the lowest passer rating allowed in coverage last year at 31.3. Friendly reminder: 39.6 is the passer rating of the hypothetical quarterback who spikes the ball every play. \u201d<\/p>\n
Filice also has the Cowboys taking Mesidore at 20th. He writes: \u201cAfter trading Micah Parsons last August, the Cowboys could lose Jadeveon Clowney, Dante Fowler Jr. and Sam Williams in free agency. Donovan Ezeiruaku, last year\u2019s second-round pick, flashed a well-rounded game in Year 1, but he needs some help on the edge. Mesidor might be gone by the time Dallas goes on the clock at No. 20, but the Miami product\u2019s advanced age (turns 25 in April) could push him down the board. On the plus side, he might have the most advanced pass-rushing arsenal in this draft after six seasons (and 52 starts) at the college level.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
