Jason La Canfora continues to hear the Falcons being linked to free agent DT Dontari Poe. Although, La Canfora says that there’s a “very good” chance Poe will sign a one-year contract and test the open market again in 2018.
- Last night, ESPN’s Ed Werder mentioned that there are some concerns about Poe’s back along with his overall price, which is why he hasn’t signed with a team yet.
- La Canfora previously reported that there were several teams interested in Poe including the Colts, Falcons and 49ers.
Poe, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2012. He played out his four-year, $11,320,006 contract but the Chiefs picked up his fifth-year option last year that will cost them $6.15 million for the 2106 season.
In 2016, Poe has appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs and recorded 27 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and three pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 46 interior defensive lineman out of 126 qualifying players.
