The Dallas Cowboys already made one big move to bolster their defensive line this offseason when they signed Gerald McCoy, and they could be adding another former first-round pick in that area of the field as well.
The Cowboys are discussing a contract with veteran defensive tackle Dontari Poe, according to Jane Slater and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
The #Cowboys are in talks with FA DT Dontari Poe, source said. It’s not done yet, but could be by the end of today if all goes well. Another potential big-name DT who spent last year with the #Panthers. https://t.co/uP7W5kBaEQ

Poe had his best seasons earlier in his career when he was with the Kansas City Chiefs, but he has remained a productive player. The two-time Pro Bowler had four sacks last season with the Carolina Panthers and is a great space-filler on the interior defensive line.
The Cowboys are clearly making their defensive line a priority this offseason, and signing both McCoy and Poe would give them excellent depth.
