Aubrey, 28, played four years of college soccer as a defender at Notre Dame and was a first-round pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft by Toronto FC

Aubrey signed with the Cowboys after playing for the USFL's Birmingham Stallions this spring. He has made 26 of 35 attempts so far in camp, per ESPN

Dallas has not expressed an interest in adding a veteran to the competition. Robbie Gould and Mason Crosby are both available

Brett Maher set a Cowboys record with 137 points last season but was not re-signed after missing five PATs during the postseason
