Where do Cowboys rank among NFL's most expensive offensive lines?

In a surprise, the Carolina Panthers are number one on the list. The Panthers have spent $95.3 million on protecting quarterback Bryce Young.

The Cowboys come in at 17th, spending $48.8 million on their offensive line. However, that is before Jones pulls out the wallet for his extension with Tyler Smith.

Someone in the front office shouldn't let Jones see this list. The next thing you know, the owner of the Cowboys will be overpaying all of his linemen so the team can be first at spending on the position.

Of course, the Cowboys still have Smith and last year's first-round pick, Tyler Guyton, under rookie contracts. But as we mentioned about a potential Smith extension, the number on the offensive linemen spending this offseason could see a drastic upward trajectory.
