Cowboys | Dontari Poe's release performance based Wed Oct 28, 10:12 PM
Free-agent DT Dontari Poe was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, Oct. 28, after failing to find a trade partner for him. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the released had nothing to do with Poe being the only player to kneel during the national anthem ahead of games. 'When you're 30 pounds overweight and you're not doing anything about what's keeping you from performing well on the field, there is no reason to get into the other stuff,' Jones said. 'We have a platform here but the platform on the football field has a high standard, and (Poe) was not up to the standard. He needed to correct that and he did not. I'm going to leave it at that.'

Falcons | Dontari Poe to weigh in Mon Jun 12, 09:22 AM
Atlanta Falcons DT Dontari Poe will weigh in Tuesday, June 13, and if he weighs less than 340 pounds, he'll earn $125,000.
| Footballguys view: Poe plans to play this season at 330 pounds, and he's got a big bonus waiting for him if he hits the right number on the scale. Chronic back problems slowed him down with the Chiefs as a nose tackle. He's going to play a 3-technique in the Falcons 4-3 defense, and he should come off the field in nickel situations. A lighter weight and a reduced number of snaps could make Poe more effective in 2017. |

Falcons | Dontari Poe turned down additional dollars Thu Mar 16, 06:52 PM
Atlanta Falcons DT Dontari Poe ended up turning down a one-year, $9 million deal (plus incentives) that was fully guaranteed from the Jacksonville Jaguars. He favored the Falcons all along.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons appear to be closer to a championship, a likely factor for Poe. He may also stand out more in Atlanta, where there are less potential impact defenders. That would give him a better chance of cashing in on a contract in 2018. |

| Footballguys view: This is a nice addition to the Falcons as they continue to improve their defense. It's essentially a prove-it deal, which is a little surprising considering Poe's ability but it leaves both sides flexibility next year - something which seems a theme for this year's free agency. |

The team is strapped for cap space with only $4 million to work with at this time. They'll move around some money to get at least one of these guys signed, but signing both is likely a pipe dream. |
