As a Kansas City Chiefs‘ faithful, Nick Wright is eyeing the free agency decisions fellow contenders such as the Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills make.
He’s hoping they don’t add one player in particular.
“I would be way more bummed out, as a Chiefs fan, if any of those teams got [Brandon] Aubrey than in the event that they obtained [George] Pickens, and so they all want broad receivers,” Wright mentioned on Wednesday’s episode of First Issues First. “All of them want broad receivers, and I’d be extra bothered by them getting Brandon Aubrey than I’d George Pickens.”
Wright could be scared of that actuality, however he additionally suggested any contender to pay up for Aubrey.
“I might give him a 10-year, $75 million contract, $50 million assured,” Wright mentioned. “The kicker model of the Mahomes deal.”
That hypothetical contract would make Aubrey the highest-paid kicker within the NFL, and the highest-paid kicker of all-time. At the moment, Kansas Metropolis’s Harrison Butker owns that title, making $6.4 million per yr. However Aubrey has confirmed to earn essentially the most cash at his place due to his leg energy as he owns two of the longest kicks in league historical past — a 64-yarder and 65-yarder.
“It’s simpler to seek out George Pickens than Brandon Aubrey, and so I’d prioritize him,” Wright mentioned.
Solely Justin Tucker and Jacksonville Jaguars‘ kicker Cam Little have hit longer kicks than Aubrey.
