Popular defensive lineman Dontari Poe signs with Atlanta, ending Chiefs tenure

Dontari Poe’s tenure in Kansas City has come to an end.

On Thursday, the Atlanta Falcons announced they’ve agreed to a deal with Poe, a 26-year-old two-time Pro Bowler. ESPN reported the deal is for one year and $8 million, with an additional $2 million in incentives.

The most notable thing about the contract is that it is not that far off from the one-year, $8 million pact the Chiefs recently signed with free-agent defensive tackle Bennie Logan, a strong run-stopper who will have an opportunity to replace Poe in the middle of the Chiefs’ 3-4 defense.
