Report: Falcons' Poe to earn $125K if he weighs 330 lbs or less Wednesday
It's Weigh-in Wednesday for Dontari Poe.
The Atlanta Falcons nose tackle will again hit the scales in an attempt to earn another cash incentive in his contract. If Poe weighs 330 pounds or less on the first day of training camp Wednesday, he'll earn $125,000, ESPN's Field Yates reports.
Poe collected $125,000 in June for tipping the scales at 340 pounds or less. He signed with the Falcons this offseason on a one-year, $8-million deal that includes $500,000 for four separate weigh-ins, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure.
It's clear Atlanta wants the five-year pro at his leanest and meanest for the 2017 season.
Poe spent the first five years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he recorded 13 total sacks and 200 tackles. He played in all 16 games last season and netted 27 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
