Aubrey is a weapon

A kicker never seems that important until you don't have one, as the Saints found out

Then you see a dude like Jason Meyers basically winning the Superbowl

Aubrey is worth way more than a scrub like Jake Elliot

Best contract ROI in the league and it’s not even close

Kid from Jacksonville will be getting paid soon. He can go from the other 40.

Yeah but he’s not consistent from 40-55 yards out, Cam Little

He’ll win 2 games a year. He’s a difference maker

I think I get what you’re trying to say, but as a direct statement, this doesn’t make much sense.

Why? When you have a good kicker, lock him down.

Not bad for someone that never kicked a football in high school or college. He literally started practicing kicking at age 24, got a pro shot at 27, and now at 31 is the wealthiest kicker in the league

They go bad too quickly to ever pay more than the league minimum

Was reported he wanted much more, shocked the cowboys didn’t pay grossly above market for him. Good deal for both sides

Last year Aubrey wasn’t as good as he had been. Not even close if my memory serves me.

as a Cowboys fan, Aubrey is the highlight of every game.

We get more excited about him lining up than we do a 4th and 50 from the one yard line for the Cowboys defense.
