Dontari Poe Collects $125K Bonus from Falcons After Weighing in Under 330 Pounds

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Dontari Poe collected a $125,000 bonus for weighing under 330 pounds.

According to Spotrac, the Falcons signed Poe to a one-year deal this offseason worth a cap hit of $8 million with $2 million in incentives.

The 26-year-old Poe spent the first five seasons of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs after they selected him with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft out of Memphis.

Poe was twice named to the Pro Bowl during his time with the Chiefs, but he is coming off a down year statistically, as he registered just 27 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2016.

NFL.com lists Poe at a weight of 346 pounds.

Poe will join a young and talented Falcons defense in 2017 with his primary role being that of a run stopper with Vic Beasley providing the bulk of the pass-rush.

Although Atlanta reached the Super Bowl last season, it ranked just 25th in total yardage allowed and 27th in points allowed.
