The former 2012 first-round pick out of Memphis started his career in Kansas City before joining Atlanta and then most recently Carolina. Poe played 11 games last season for the Panthers, recording 22 tackles (seven tackles for loss) and four sacks. He’ll add some veteran toughness up front for Dallas this upcoming season.

The former 2012 first-round pick out of Memphis played the last two seasons with the Carolina Panthers, after starting his career in Kansas City, playing four years with the Chiefs, and then spending one year in Atlanta. Poe has been known as a run-stuffing DT throughout his career, but in 2019, he also recorded four sacks in just 11 games. He’s got a ton of skill, and would be a huge addition to the Dallas defensive line. Stay tuned for future updates surrounding Poe’s free agency destination.

He's one of the better free agents on the market, especially on the defensive line. After leaving the Chiefs for the Falcons last offseason, Poe played extremely well, particularly against the run. He will replace Star Lotulelei on the defensive line and should be considered a solid upgrade. The Panthers signed Julius Peppers the other day, trying to shore up their defensive line.
