Sources: Panthers add ex-Falcon Poe to D-line
Former Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Dontari Poe has agreed to a three-year contract with the Carolina Panthers, sources confirmed to ESPN.
The news was first reported by the Washington Post.
Poe replaces Star Lotulelei, who left the team in free agency to sign with the Buffalo Bills.
Poe, 27, signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons last year and quickly set the tone as a run-stuffer. He also showed flashes of pressuring the quarterback, although such was not his specialty as the Falcons had hopes of developing Poe into more of an attacking interior pass rusher.
