Former Chiefs DT Poe agrees to one-year deal

[DenverChief]

Megathreads suck. Bite me.

The Falcons have agreed to terms with former Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe on a one-year, $8 million contract, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the deal. The new pact can reach $10 million with incentives. The Falcons later confirmed the deal.

Same deal we got for Logan who is healthier.

What is in bold is a huge difference in getting a nasty push up the middle and stuffing the run continuously. Just getting a healthy Logan will significantly stop the bleeding between the 20's thus our D will be far less gassed.

The Falcons?

Why didn't he push his agent for NE?

Because they already have two versions of Poe. The Old Poe: Alan Branch and the young Poe: Malcom Brown

I agree. I loved Poe but I just don't think he was the same last year as in years past. I think Logan will make our DL more fearsome again.

Thanks for posting the thread.

Fair enough.

His agent knew better that he could not fool Bill with a $$ seeking overrated injured Poe.:rolleyes:

Yep !!

[Frazod]

Glad he went to a team we won't play again before he's done. Best of luck to him.

Seriously, it wouldn't matter. He got his $$ and I assure he will go full Haynesworth as if he hasn't already.:hmmm:

I just never want to see another Bronco Neil come back to haunt us.

Oh I get your point BUT Neil had character that loved the game and was hungry for a ring. Poe is quite different and is hungry for something else IMHO. Poe is your typical "clock watcher" at work and even more so now that he got his $$.

[Iowanian]

I enjoyed Poe during his minute here, but he wasn't the same last year. He was a liability.

Can't pay a big man with a bad back. Good luck to him in AtL.

[Rain Man]

Atlanta? It's too bad that he'll never win a Super Bowl.

[SAUTO]

Wut?

He got almost that much as his rookie signing bonus.

LMAO I guess there are worse things than being a Chiefs fan.

[Iowanian]

Glad it wasn't the raiders or donkshe's so I don't have to hate him.

[Hammock Parties]

Boy, exact same contract.

Going to be a lot of comparisons this year between Poe and Mr. 32.

[Red Dawg]

We spent the 11th pick on him. Fugging waste.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

So basically we are getting no compensatory picks out of Poe.

[BWillie]

Fat.

[gblowfish]

He probably got tired of playing in freezing crappy KC Weather.

[Mr. Laz]

We played him around 76% of our defensive snaps. That is more than just about any DT in the league. A few DE's play more but it's still too much, especially with a bad back.

Apparently, the Chiefs had already decided to not keep him and just run him into the ground on his way out.

I imagine Poe wants to be a 3-tech where he can use his quickness and shoot gaps.

[Demonpenz]

WENT FROM BEAST MODE TO LEAST MODE

[TribalElder]

Wonder what that Atlanta Walmart game be like

[philfree]

Poe gave the Chiefs 5 good years and I'm sorry to see him go. I don't feel sorry for him not getting the big deal he was looking for though. He just signed for $8mil so he should be set for life.

[patteeu]

Thanks for posting the thread.

Ditto.

Count me in with the "megathreads suck" crowd.

[mcaj22]

I read reports the Colts offered him 5 years 60 million and he turned it down.

I cant imagine why unless Ballard made it with low garunteed money and an easy out after like 2 years.

That or Poe really doesnt want to be the hoss that eats up blockers anymore and just wants to pass rush

[Eleazar]

Megathreads do suck.

I like Poe and wish him well. Now is the right time to sell on him. Dorsey and Co have gotten this one right.

[notorious]

He wasn't transcendent nor worth long term money.

Bye.

As much as I hate to admit it, I totally agree. Still, I'm going to miss the guy.
Remember when he was drafted and he practically kissed the Commish? LOL!

Bottom line is the Chiefs could have found a way to keep Poe as supported by the Logan deal, had they really thought he was worth it. The did the right thing and signed a better run stuffer when they had the opportunity.

All the Best to Dontari.
HUNGRY PIG PASS WILL LIVE FOREVER!

[notorious]

Reid just got rid of some competition at the buffets.

[Chiefnj2]

It looks like this was the plan for KC from the start. They rode him hard in terms of snap #'s. It's not a surprise he broke down. He played hurt and didn't complain. Good guy.

If Tyson Jackson can eek out a career in Atlanta, Poe will be viewed as a demi-god.

[Sannyasi]

Completely disagree with Poe being done. If he took a one year deal he is clearly betting on himself. I bet he plays his ass off next year.

He had that opportunity last season. It was a contract year, that's when players usually work on improving their perceived value.

Didn't Atlanta cut Jackson recently?

I imagine that Atlanta was the only place to tell them that he wouldn't play NT.

He is going to be a 3-tech in Atlanta. His job is to attack instead of holding the point of attack for 2 gaps. That means sacks and TFL, which Poe hopes will turn into a big, big money contract.

That screws us, unfortunately.

He signed a 1 year contact, Chiefs"shrink"

[Rasputin]

There goes our hungry pig.

[Mr. Laz]

I'm not sure i want to be the team that gives him his next contract.


Poe is going to move to the 3-tech where he can attack. He's going to get sacks and TFL this year.

Poe is going to want to get paid big time next year and i don't see how you can trust the contract year results.

I agree a long term deal would not be worth the risk. But I don't blame him for wanting to change roles. Who wouldn't ?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Maybe he will put more effort into this season.

[RealSNR]

You guys are hilarious.

Not one of you knows jack shit about the amount of effort a guy actually gives.

Jeremy Macljn sucked. He must not have put in the effort! Same goes with Alex Smith!

Idiots

[milkman]

Dumbass.

[mdstu]

I'm sure Poe is laughing at Haynesworths measly 2009 7yr/$100 million after signing that monstrous 2017 1yr/$8 million contract.
