FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys and long snapper Trent Sieg have agreed on a contract extension. Sieg returning to Dallas keeps continuity in the kicking game for Brandon Aubrey going into 2025, a point of emphasis this offseason.
Sieg, 29, has spent the last two seasons in Dallas as the long snapper after the first five years of his career with the Las Vegas Raiders. For the first time in his tenure with the Cowboys, Sieg will work under a new special teams coordinator in Nick Sorensen.
Sorensen replaced John "Bones" Fassel who left the Cowboys to become the Tennessee Titans special teams coordinator in January. Since Sorensen arrived in Dallas, he's heard nothing but good things about all of the players he'll get to work with and now has one more in the boat.
"I haven't found anyone that's said a bad thing about them," Sorenson said at his introductory press conference. "I really have a lot of respect for those guys. Obviously we'd love to have them back, and hopefully we can."
Aubrey and Sieg are locked in, and now punter Bryan Anger is the only free agent remaining in the third phase of the game for Dallas. Anger, who has been Aubrey's holder for the last two years as well, is someone that the All-Pro kicker also wants to see return.
"You've got a great punter, great long snapper and great kicker," Aubrey said after the season. "When you've got that going for you, I feel like it's something you've got to keep together as long as you can."
Not only has Anger been successful as Aubrey's holder, but he's played some of his best ball while handling the punting duties in Dallas, averaging 43.3 net yards per punt over the course of the last four seasons.
Anger is still hanging in the balance, but the man who starts it all in Sieg is back and ready to snap with a star on his helmet in 2025.
