Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Dontari Poe came in under the 330-pound limit required to earn a $125,000 bonus at training camp Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Poe collected on an earlier workout bonus of $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, netting 27 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
