Okay, so I wanted to figure out the deal with Leighton Vander Esch’s contract. I’m a huge Cowboys fan, and I always like to know where the team stands with money and players.

First, I started digging around to get the basic details. I needed to know things like:
- How long is the contract for?
- How much is he getting paid?
- What’s the guaranteed money situation?
So, I started searching. I looked at a few different sports news sites and some dedicated NFL contract websites. It was a bit tricky finding all the consistent info in one place, some sites had bits and pieces, others had older information.
Digging into the Details
After checking a bunch of sites, I found out, the contract isn’t very long, It’s only a couple of years.
I kept looking for the amount, and I finally got a number that made sense across a few different sources. It looked like a decent chunk of change, but not a record-breaking deal or anything.
Then I focused on the guaranteed money. That’s the important part, right? That’s the money he’s getting no matter what, even if he gets injured or something. I finally pinned down a number for that, too.

Finally, I felt like I had a pretty good handle on the whole contract situation. I grabbed all the numbers I’d found and made a little note for myself, so I can remember the basics next time I’m wondering about it.
