PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Fletcher Cox signed a $100 million dollar contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles this week. Cox, a 2015 Pro Bowl defensive lineman, received the most guaranteed money for a non-quarterback in NFL history.

But amazingly, he's still not the highest paid athlete in Philadelphia. In fact, if you sort by average annual salary, Cox isn't even in the top-two.
