Chiefs Dontari Poe: Deal Watch Thread - Page 6

Dante84 · 02-28-2017, 06:13 PM

ESPN's Ed Werder:

"His numbers have dropped off considerably in recent years, but he's still a unique player. As of last night, the Chiefs had been in contact with him, they were having negotiations, but they were not close to a deal. At that point, there was still no discussion if they would franchise him if they got the Berry deal done."

"The Berry deal give the Chiefs all the leverage in the world with Dontari Poe."

So, do we:

Sign to an extension
Franchise Tag
Let him walk to FA

I hated Neil Smith before he came to Denver. His signing was an interesting experiment for me. It made me believe that I could like any player, if he wore a Broncos uniform.

That hypothesis was blown all to hell just two years later - a guy by the name of Dale Carter. I hated him when he played in Kansas City. And I think I hated him even more during his brief stint in Denver.

That's a cruel thing to ask a man with an injured back to do.

Much better is a bit extreme. We may have more depth but it's also hard to compare when we are using 3 sometimes. The Broncos aren't weak at safety.

Poe is gone! Listening to John Dorsey live at the combine, he said that he has told Poe's agent that he wants to keep an open line of communication. It really didn't feel like he would make a strong effort to keep Poe.

Unless Poe wants to give a hometown discount or the market for him is really not what we think it is, he is clearly gone IMO.

I thought he was gone before listening to Dorsey and it has just strengthened my belief.

"I'm going to fight like the dickens to get him back...."

Look, simple math says that Poe's almost certainly gone, but Dorsey most assuredly didn't indicate that he wouldn't make a strong effort to re-sign him. In fact, he said the exact opposite.

My bad. I didn't understand that he was referring to Poe when he said that but still, saying that he told Poe's agent that he wants to keep an open line of communication means IMO that Poe will definitely test the market and if he is to get high offers, we very likely won't match it.

I feel like it is a bit similar to dealing with Sean Smith last year.

We pretty much knew that but listening to Dorsey confirmed it.

Poe would be silly not to test the market; he's done the hard part - produced for 5 years under his rookie deal and hit the market relatively healthy.

Why extend now without seeing exactly what you're worth? And yeah, there's a good chance that it's more than the Chiefs can/should pay.

But we said the same thing about Howard last year and the market simply never came together for him. Stranger things have happened.

Depends on the hip injury.

You get something back in return and you have a little influence about where he goes.
