Twitter: Cowboys close to signing Dontari Poe

[DallasEast]

Well, as I pointed out, he hasn't missed games because of the back issue.

I know.

Only 29 too...


I haven’t followed him.. I wonder if he’s still decent.

 

[montgod]

Hmm... where have I read this before? I think if he's healthy, it's a good low cost/high reward move.

It's still early but you know how the Boys do it. They wait till the 2nd or 3rd round of FA to try and prove they can find gold where other teams might have missed. Bet you Dontari Poe will be on their radar.

 

[DallasEast]

Understood. But even the year he had offseason disk surgery, he played 15 games. And that was 5 years ago. He's still only 29. So I think physically, he should be OK.

I agree with your assessment.

Panthers were running a 3-4 last year with McCoy at LE and Poe at NT. Doesn't look ideal for their talent. Kuechly retired, maybe LB corps wasn't that well either - Shaq Thompson seems a little small for inside lb.

At least now McCarthy can use the seesaw.

Dang, an actual bona fide run stuffer? Someone pinch me.

Get it done and then they still have to do something at DE. You can't go into the season counting on Randy Gregory. You just can't.

"Hate?" I must be honest and say that I am personally offended by your accusation, Mr. Daniel Day-Lewis! Shame on you sir!

Even Daniel Day Lewis, as great an actor as he is, couldn’t hide his Dak love as well as Risen manages to.

Truly a performance for the ages.

If the cowboys signed Poe and managed to get Griffen. I would be so damn excited.

 

[Tussinman]

It is just me reflecting on previous applied 'logic' for players with certain prior injuries.

Yes but most of that complaining was because there was high capital spent. Like signing Tank when he had one healthy season at the time, signing cooper when he had disappeared in 2nd half of 2 of the last 3 seasons due to leg injuries, spending a top 40 pick on Jaylon who was a question mark health wise.

Previously applied logical still has context applied to it, Poe is a different context (glorified veteran camp body)

Carolina is tanking for Lawrence.

They'd probably entertain trades for McCaffrey right now.

 

[Prossman]

Who was our NT behind woods last year? nobody. ... Honestly we should upgrade Woods right off this roster.

 

[Kwyn]

We would be taking the Panthers starting DT's from last year, McCoy & Poe. Anybody know how the Panthers did against the run last year?

They were bad. Real bad.

 

[Risen Star]

Cowboys!

Probably more realistic to think they go after Matthews next for a year unfortunately.
