One of the biggest remaining free agents is reportedly off the market.

The Carolina Panthers have reached an agreement with defensive tackle Dontari Poe, a source told Kimberley A. Martin of the Washington Post.

The deal is for three years at a value of between $9 million and $10 million per year, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The 6-foot-3, 346-pound defensive stalwart spent the 2017 season with the NFC South-rival Atlanta Falcons, recording 39 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, and two passes defensed.

Poe spent the first five years of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, after being chosen with the 11th overall pick of the 2012 draft. He made back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances in 2013 and 2014.
