Dallas and the defensive tackle have agreed to basic terms on a deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the negotiations. The two sides are finalizing language on the deal, but it will get done, Rapoport added.
Poe becomes the second former Panther to leave Carolina for Dallas, joining
Gerald McCoy with the
Cowboys after McCoy spent 2019 in Charlotte. The
Cowboys have bolstered their defensive front this offseason after losing
Robert Quinn in free agency, and after signing McCoy last week, they're adding depth by taking a chance on Poe, who is coming off a season-ending torn quadriceps.
Poe has 278 tackles and 20.5 sacks in his eight professional seasons. The former first-round pick of the
Chiefs has never quite lived up to expectation, but he could help a
Cowboys team that is built to win now.

We all know how much the Cowboys have fallen in love with compensatory picks in recent memory and there is good news on that front in terms of
Dontari Poe. Due to a new wrinkle in 2020, the fact that the Carolina Panthers declined Poe’s option means
he is not eligible to be factored into the compensatory pick formula. It’s a cost-free signing for Dallas except for the salary cap number.
