IRVING, Texas -- When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Fletcher Cox to a six-year contract extension with $63 million in guaranteed money, it just added to the NFC East arms’ race.

Since Jan. 1, the Eagles have guaranteed more than $280 million in contracts. The New York Giants and Washington Redskins have guaranteed the second and third most in the same timeframe.

New York has guaranteed more than $140 million and Washington has guaranteed $114.7 million.

Where does that leave the Dallas Cowboys?

The Cowboys check in at No. 21 in the NFL in guaranteed money handed out since Jan. 1 at $46,159,810, according to ESPN Stats & Information, however, that does not include some of the draft pick signings.

The Cowboys’ largest guarantee has gone to Ezekiel Elliott, the fourth overall pick. His fully guaranteed contract checked in at $24,956,338.

The Eagles have guaranteed at least $21 million to six players, including Cox, Lane Johnson, Vinny Curry, Sam Bradford, Malcolm Jenkins and Zach Ertz.

The second largest commitment the Cowboys have made in terms of guaranteed money went to a former Eagle, defensive tackle Cedric Thornton, who received $9 million guaranteed in his four-year deal. Second-round pick Jaylon Smith was third at $4.52 million. Benson Mayowa was next at $3.3 million.
