The irony of last season is that the Predators are strong believers that a strong, elite WR corps is necessary for success in the Frenzy, and we let a very good WR walk. We had a deep WR corp, so in some ways we could afford to do that, however, we were missing that elite WR at the top.

So last October we were aggressive in trading for the missing piece to building a championship team... that missing piece was Brandon Marshall, an elite, stud top 5-10 (at many points top 3) WR.

Of course we warmly welcome Brandon back to the reigning Frenzy Champion Parkwood Predators. We view him as an integral piece of the puzzle in our quest to repeat, and happily MATCH his 2200cb contract.

I know, the match is a shocking surprise right?

I guess a couple years away deflated the ol FF ego....its getting puffier again...
