Cowboys Headlines: Aubrey nears deadline; is Dallas trying to trade up to jump rival?
A decision for Brandon Aubrey is coming. The Cowboys work to zero in on draft picks, but insiders believe the team could be looking to jump NYG.
Plenty of fans worried that the Cowboys were playing with fire when they placed a second-round tender on kicker Brandon Aubrey, opening up at least the possibility of another team swooping in to steal him away. The Cowboys had reportedly offered Aubrey a record deal, but the kicker's camp had hoped for more. So far, though, no one has bit.
If there's no competing offer by Friday, Aubrey will either have to sign the tender and play 2026 for $5. 81 million... or hold out.
There's also been no action on a George Pickens trade, at least according to Stephen Jones. So if Pickens is staying put, what happens if Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate is available with the 12th overall pick in the draft? It could happen, as the rumor mill now has Dallas shying away (or maybe not) from Reuben Bain.
While the mocks are largely sticking with a DB at No. 12 and a front-seven defender at No. 20, there's also renewed belief that the Cowboys could trade up, specifically to jump the division-rival Giants.
