The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a trade for a Texans’ defensive tackle

The Dallas Cowboys enter their Week Eight matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles possessing the worst rushing defense in the NFL. Dallas allows a whopping 178.3 yards on the ground per game to opposing offenses. But the Cowboys have made a couple of moves this week hoping to cure their ills.

On Wednesday, the Cowboys release veteran defensive tackle Dontari Poe. Dallas signed the two-time Pro Bowler to a two-year, $8.5 million deal this offseason to become the team’s run stopper.
