[Preds]

In a stunning development, the Preds were unable to match Antonio in a timely manner.


TEAM STATEMENT
We are disheartened to announce that due to this evening's power and communication's outage the Predators were unable to officially communicate the team's signed, 3 year contract extension with star WR Antonio Brown in a timely manner to the league. It was believed that the contract had been properly communicated to the league at 6:52 PM this evening via both fax and email. However, the league has no receipt of either the fax or email. when communications were restored a few minutes ago, the team received failure to send notices from both their email server and fax. As per league rules, the league has informed us that Antonio has been awarded to the Roosters for the teams failure to match within 72 hours and that the decision cannot be appealed despite the evidence of the attempted notification. Antonio, GM/Coach Mike, and the entire Predators organization are shocked and extremely saddened by this unexpected development.
