Aubrey Seeks $10M Per Season in Cowboys Talks

Dallas is reportedly offering Brandon Aubrey a long-term deal averaging near $7.5M to become the NFL’s highest-paid kicker, but Aubrey is seeking about $10M per season. Talks began before the 2025 season and remain at an impasse, with a fallback second-round tender of $5.8M possible if no long-term agreement is reached. Aubrey, 30, is a three-time Pro Bowler with six 60+-yard field goals and a career-long of 65 yards, and is expected to remain with Dallas for 2026.

Cowboys land George Pickens, reshaping their offense as Steelers pursue new WR options

Dallas bolstered its offense by trading for George Pickens, a top-10 receiver last season, pairing him with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb in a move many view as lopsided given Pittsburgh’s need to replace him and the Steelers’ rumored pursuit of Tyreek Hill (who is a free agent after Dolphins release) or DK Metcalf. The Hill angle highlights Pittsburgh’s aggressive win-now mindset, while Dallas’s acquisition reinforces a blueprint for sustained contention.

Cowboys to franchise-tag George Pickens, buying time for a potential longer deal

Dallas Cowboys expect to franchise-tag wide receiver George Pickens within the next week, keeping him from free agency and extending the negotiation window into July for a possible long-term deal. The tag would guarantee a 2026 salary and cap hit over $28 million, with a long-term contract potentially reducing the cap, though it’s unclear whether Pickens will attend offseason workouts while tagged.

Javonte Williams contract highlights the fragile economics of NFL running backs

Javonte Williams went from a prove-it one-year, $3 million deal to a three-year, $24 million extension with the Cowboys, underscoring that the NFL running back market remains undervalued: only a few stars command big money, teams rely on drafting cheaper backs, and reported guarantees often inflate the apparent value due to contract structure.

Cowboys land Javonte Williams on a three-year, $24M deal

Running back Javonte Williams agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys, including $16 million guaranteed, returning to Dallas after a one-year stint with the club. Williams posted career highs in rushing attempts (252), yards (1,201) and rushing TDs (11) in 2025, plus 35 receptions for 137 yards, and the move could influence ongoing talks to keep wide receiver George Pickens on the Cowboys long-term.

Cowboys commit to a versatile 3-4 base defense for 2026

The Dallas Cowboys will deploy a 3-4 base defense this season for the first time since 2012, under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, who says the unit will be multiple and tailored to the players. With a strong front seven anchored by Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuwa, the switch emphasizes pressure and adaptability across fronts and coverages, moving away from their historic 4-3 setup to fit the roster.

Cowboys chase Dak Prescott restructure to free cap space after Mahomes move

Cowboys chase Dak Prescott restructure to free cap space after Mahomes move

Dallas is about $30.17 million over the cap and could follow the Chiefs’ lead by restructuring Dak Prescott to create substantial room, with Mahomes’ recent restructuring lowering his 2026 cap hit to $34.65M and freeing $43.56M. Prescott’s current $74.06M cap hit is the third-highest in the league, and Dallas could save about $30.96M through a Prescott restructure to get under the cap—likely also considering restructures for CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Smith to free roughly $36.63M—before the March 11 league-year start.

Cowboys fined George Pickens at least once during 2025 season

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens was fined by the team at least once during the 2025 season, per ESPN citing sources; the report clarifies that it did not allege multiple fines. Pickens posted 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025 and is set to be an unrestricted free agent. Dallas is expected to use the franchise tag to buy time for a long-term deal or a potential trade, and Pickens was traded to Dallas from Pittsburgh in 2022.

Cowboys-Pickens fines myth debunked as franchise-tag looming

A ProFootballTalk piece argues that the report of the Cowboys fining George Pickens is overstated and the Archer quote was misrepresented as saying he was fined “multiple times.” The article notes a benching and a missed team bus as possible incidents but says there’s no clear record of repeated fines, and Jerry Jones later praised Pickens. It also examines whether a smear campaign could be used to drive down Pickens’ value, but finds no evidence of one thus far. The bigger factor remains Dallas’s likely use of the franchise tag, around $28 million for 2026, signaling a commitment to keep Pickens regardless of whispers.

Nate Newton Embraces Redemption After Presidential Pardon

Former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Nate Newton publicly thanked President Donald Trump after receiving a presidential pardon for a 2001 federal drug trafficking conviction, a pardon that does not erase the court record but restores certain civil privileges. Newton, who served nearly two years in prison, frames the move as redemption and gratitude, signaling a shift in how his legacy is viewed, though public reaction is likely to vary.
