The Cowboys released Poe on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poe started every game for the Cowboys this season and recorded eight tackles in the process. However, the Cowboys were apparently looking for a trade partner this week and after an unsuccessful search, they cut Poe loose. Poe can sign with another team immediately, and he could add depth at defensive tackle for a contender.

Poe (quadriceps) was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Poe has passed his physical and will now be eligible to join teammates on the practice field. Following the release of Gerald McCoy (quadriceps), the Cowboys look primed to lean on Poe as a key force along the interior of the defensive line. The former Panther is on track to start Week 1.

Poe (quadriceps) remains on the reserve/PUP list, but head coach Mike McCarthy signaled that Poe is making good progress, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poe continues to rehab from quadriceps surgery he endured in December, but McCarthy didn't relay any concern that Poe wouldn't be ready for the regular season. The 29-year-old defensive tackle played in 11 games for the Panthers last year, logging 22 tackles and four sacks, and he looks poised to start for the Cowboys after signing a two-year, $9.5 million deal in March.

Poe (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poe is working his way back from quadriceps surgery that limited him to 11 games in 2019. The eight-year pro stands to play a key role plugging up the interior of Dallas' defensive line when healthy, but he's not yet ready to begin practicing with teammates.

The Cowboys and Poe agreed to terms of a contract Friday, David Helman of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
An eight-year pro, Poe has experience in both 3-4 (Kansas City and Carolina) and 4-3 (Atlanta) alignments, the latter of which he'll be a part of in Dallas. Over the course of his career, he's tallied two-plus sacks in four campaigns while averaging 49.3 defensive snaps per game. The 6-foot-3, 346-pound nose tackle will serve a space-eating role once he recovers from surgery on a quad injury that ended his 2019 season after 11 contests.

The Panthers are expected to decline Poe's $9.8 million team option for the 2020 season, Jourdan Rodrigue and Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to missing the final five games of 2019 due to a quad injury, Poe played at least 50 percent of the defensive snaps in seven of 11 appearances, accounting for 22 tackles and four sacks. He underwent surgery in the meantime, but considering the cap hit and his age (30 in August), the Panthers are inclined to move on. He'll officially be able to sign elsewhere as of Wednesday, assuming free agency starts as planned.

Poe relayed that his quadriceps surgery was successful and he's on track for a full recovery, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poe missed the final five games of the season, but it doesn't appear his 2020 status is in jeopardy. The 29-year-old had a solid year, as he recorded 22 tackles and four sacks over 11 contests. Poe has one year remaining on his contract at a cap hit of $13.33 million.

The Panthers placed Poe (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poe suffered a torn quadriceps during Sunday's loss to the Saints. The 29-year-old underwent surgery to address the injury Tuesday, and he'll miss the remainder of the 2019 season. Expect Kyle Love to take over at nose tackle for Carolina going forward.

Poe is set to undergo surgery to address his torn quadriceps Tuesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fears regarding Poe's injury have been confirmed with him scheduled to go under the knife. The 29-year-old should miss the rest of the 2019 season and will move to injured reserve in the near future. Kyle Love is in line to take over at nose tackle for the Panthers.

Poe is feared to have suffered a torn quadriceps during Sunday's loss to the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Poe is scheduled to undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury, but if he's indeed sustained a torn quadriceps he can be expected to miss the remainder of the season. Kyle Love figures to take over at nose tackle if Poe is indeed forced to miss significant time.
