The Panthers made official on Friday the signing of DT Dontari Poe, who according to sources got a three-year, $27 million deal to replace Star Lotulelei. The team does not anticipate any more moves today. Tight end Eric Ebron was scheduled to be in town for a visit.

I'm  sorry, when did I say that's all that I want?

Please quote me. I'll be waiting. 

 

Ok so you don’t want that, but you’re happy with it? Are you happy with the butler pick or not lol? Just to clear this up I’m not happy with it. It was my understanding that you were because he’s a good rotational player?

I am merely defending the pick. Can never have enough quality defensive linemen. So I completely understand and am not upset with the pick, even though it wasn't my choice. 

As far as him being a rotational guy, that's what we all knew he'd be unless we lost KK in free agency, or heaven forbid, KK go down from injury.  

That is not new news. 

I AM happy we have so much talent throughout the dline, including our rotational players, as I know just how important having that is.

Poe plays smaller than he is. Jarrett ate up more double teams than he did. Im sure ATL would have had him back at 6-8 a year but he chased the money. He’s good for what he’s asked for. But I see people say he’s a huge reason for Atlanta’s defensive improvement and that’s honestly false. Atlanta’s defensive improvement came because Deion Jones, De’vondre Campbell, and Keanu Neal were rookies in 2016, and they had great roomie campaigns and even grew this past year. And Takk flashed. Atlanta’s corners have always been okay. Poe was just another piece to the puzzle. Isn’t a world beater by any means and shouldn’t be paid close to what Damon Harrison is, but here we are.
