The big question is about pay. Aubrey is 915K cap hit, so no big deal. Anger is $3.8M cap hit for a punter. Dallas can get back $3 million if they release him, and could fill the spot with a rookie or some journeymen for less than a million

For the first time in a while, the Cowboys don’t have to worry about their kicker going into an offseason.
By Jess Haynie Mar 1, 2024

The Cowboys are in a good place with their specialists ahead of the 2024 offseason. Their kicker and punter, both coming off Pro Bowl appearances, are signed up for the next campaign. With only long snapper to fill, and what should be a no-stress way to do it, Dallas can focus on other needs and trust in continued excellence from this phase of the game.

Brandon Aubrey, after a remarkable season by any standard for NFL kickers, has one year left on his original contract. Turning 29 in March, the second-year phenom will get his first full offseason after only signing with Dallas last July following his days in the USFL. While there’s always the fear of Aubrey being a one-hit wonder, the Cowboys have no reason not to trust him to build on his rookie heroics.

On the other side of the experience spectrum, punter Bryan Anger remains a standout despite turning 35 last October. He led the NFC in gross and net yards in 2023 and went to his second Pro Bowl in three seasons with Dallas. Anger’s shown no sign of decline yet, so bringing him back next year should be a no-brainer. He also serves as the holder for Aubrey’s kicks; another reason to keep the veteran in the fold.

Love it that both of these speciality positions are a non-issue this off season.

Cowbiys have a couple of good ones!

- Cowboys will re-sign CJ Goodwin - coverage team needed him.

- Cowboys will re-sign long snapper Trent Sieg

- Cowboys will not cut a pro bowl caliber like punter Anger just to save a mere 3 million.
Positively changes the field position too often.

- i could see Cowboys making a new deal to confirm Aubrey Tucker as a long term deal before
allowing him to hit FA.

Indeed they do so they better pay Anger his dues and don't go cheap and try to replace him.
