Chiefs Not Expected To Franchise DT Dontari Poe, Despite Locking Up S Eric Berry

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Chiefs are not expected to franchise DT Dontari Poe before today’s deadline to tag players.

A few weeks ago, the idea was floated that the Chiefs could franchise either Poe or S Eric Berry, depending on who they were able to sign to a long-term deal. Yesterday, the Chiefs gave Berry a massive contract extension, but it appears as though they plan to allow Poe to test the open market.

It would have cost the Chiefs around $13.5 million or so to tag Poe.
