The Kansas City Chiefs locked up safety Eric Berry and guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, now, they're shifting their focus to Dontari Poe.

The Chiefs didn't use their franchise tag to keep the defensive tackle from hitting free agency, but that doesn't mean they don't want him back.

"I'm going to fight like the dickens to get him back," general manager John Dorsey said Thursday at the scouting combine, according to team writer Pete Sweeney.

The Chiefs don't own much in cap flexibility after their recent extensions and will have to get creative to keep Poe, who would be one of the top players at his position on the open market.
