Dontari Poe
Player News
Cowboys released DT Dontari Poe.
Despite playing over half of the defensive snaps, Poe has made no impact in Dallas. The 30-year-old is running out of steam but will attempt to latch on elsewhere as a run defender. The Cowboys also took a $2 million cap hit to release CB Daryl Worley. They'll save $4 million in 2021 for Poe.
The Cowboys have told DT Dontari Poe and CB Daryl Worley they’ll be released if they can’t be traded this week.
Poe hasn't done much this season, posting seven tackles on a 53% snap rate. He hasn't looked the same since tearing his quad late last year. Poe is signed through 2021, but Dallas can save $3.2 million from trading him. The Cowboys are also expected to move on from Worley after benching him in Week 7.
Cowboys activated NT Dontari Poe (quad) from the active/PUP list.
Poe tore his quad last Week 12. The Cowboys said 10 days ago there was "no timetable" for his return, but it turns out he wasn't far off. 30-year-old Poe's presence as an interior space eater has taken on much greater importance following Gerald McCoy's season-ending quad injury.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said there's no timetable for when NT Dontari Poe (quad, active/PUP) will be cleared to practice.
The Cowboys also plan to ease Tyrone Crawford (hip, active/PUP) back from season-ending surgery. Poe signed a two-year, $9 million contract in March after a rebound 2019 with the Panthers. The Cowboys are counting on him for heavy snaps.
