Cowboys Fan-Favorite Turns Down $35M Offer from Raiders — Chooses Loyalty Over Money
FRISCO, Texas — In an era where players often chase the biggest paycheck, one Dallas Cowboy just reminded everyone that loyalty still matters.
A team favorite reportedly turned down a $35 million offer from the Las Vegas Raiders, staying true to the Star — and to Dallas.
The offer? Tempting.
The city? Flashy.
But for this player, it was never about the money — it was about legacy, heart, and the bond he’s built with Cowboys Nation.
“When the call came, I laughed,” he said after Thursday’s practice. “Thirty-five million sounds great, sure. But I told him — I’m not trading the Star for a Pirate flag.”
According to sources close to Brandon Aubrey, the Raiders kicker and former teammate made a serious pitch to lure him to Vegas — the weather, the lifestyle, the fanbase, even the casinos.
But Aubrey’s friend didn’t budge.
“He told me, ‘I bleed Silver and Blue,’” Aubrey reportedly said. “That’s when I knew — there’s no chance he’s leaving Dallas.”
Inside the locker room, teammates were both shocked and inspired. Micah Parsons summed it up best:
“You don’t see that often anymore. Most guys chase the bag. He’s chasing the ring — right here in Dallas.”
The story spread like wildfire among Cowboys fans.
One fan wrote: “That’s why he’s one of us. Loyalty like that? You can’t buy it.”
Bars across Texas erupted when the news broke. TV screens showed the headline, and the crowd responded the only way Cowboys fans know how —
“HOW ’BOUT THEM COWBOYS!”
When asked if he had any hesitation walking away from such a massive offer, his answer was pure Texas confidence:
“Not for a second. Dallas isn’t just a team — it’s family. And I don’t walk away from family. I’m staying to fight, to win, and to make this Star shine even brighter.”
For Cowboys Nation, it wasn’t just a business decision — it was a statement.
In a league driven by dollars, this was about something money can’t buy: loyalty to America’s Team.
