The Dallas Cowboys have been very active on the defensive side of the ball in free agency. They signed veteran Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Defensive Tackle Gerald McCoy last week. Now, a former teammate of McCoy’s is joining him in Dallas.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys have agreed to terms with Defensive Tackle Dontari Poe.
The #Cowboys have agreed to basic terms on a deal for free agent DT Dontari Poe, source said. They are finalizing the language on the deal, but it will get done. Another big-name former #Panthers DT in free agency.

Poe was a two-time pro bowler (2013, 2014) and Second-Team All-Pro (2013) during his five-year stint with the Kansas City Chiefs. After a year in with the Atlanta Falcons in 2017, he spent the last two seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
He’s played in 121 out of a possible 128 games in his career (118 starts). Not only can he be a force in a 4-3 set but he can also take snaps as a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme. Now, the Cowboys have added two very solid interior pieces on the defensive line in McCoy and Poe which they desperately needed. More details to come.
I’m glad to hear that…. With them talking for days without getting a deal done, I started to get worried that we wouldn’t get a deal done with him!! I was actually hoping to get snacks signed, but I’m satisfied with Poe!!
I think that playing together in Carolina will help them with the Cowboys. They know how to play together and what they need to do to get the job done in the middle.
Lets hope it’s at least 2 yrs. Then draft BPA, especially on Defense. Would like to see double dip on D-line as well as double dip secondary!
Let’s get a deal done with Dak, and then add a pass rushing DE.
Quit dragging DAK,s deal out
Dak needs to get done! No more B.S!! i appreciate the other moves. Necessary and somewhat timely. But we need to get our QB squared away! We can’t risk playing a single down with Our backup!
Trade 3rd/4th and 3rd next year to SF for 31st pick. Trade both 1R to Det if Wash doesn’t draft Young and take him. Draft Bryce Hall in 2R. If Young gone then sit and take best CB at 17 and Braun at 31
As far fetched as that is it’s a great idea and kinda makes sense. You probably have to give up a 2nd and a 3rd to get the 31st though. We’d also need to sign a corner in free agency if we go after an end in the 1st w/ no more day 2 picks.
If your making that proposed trade that high, get Jeffrey Okudah….Corner taking care of for minimal 4 yrs with 5th yr Option! Could also get Young as mentioned, just feel with a crap load of $$$ going to Lawrence on the D-line, improved IDL, would be wise to get a stud elswhere o n the D….i also would do it for Isiah Simmons, his versatility at Lb/s would be fun to watch..

A DRAFT TO FIX HOLES AFTER FREE AGENCY!!!!!!!!!!
Draft the best player available. When you reach for need you end up with Taco Charlton and Trysten Hill. Folks, Dallas has drafted very well over the years when they have taken the best player. Cool your jets and let them handle business. Anthony
I agree, they may now be able to go with best available for the most part, except for maybe small needs at CB, Center, QB. But they should not reach. Hill was a terrible reach pick in the 2nd round!
