Predators acquire Brown, promote Cook, and tender VJax and Pierre

Hamburg, NY

The Predators announced today that they have officially acquired WR Antonio Brown and warmly welcome him to the team as the first acquisition of the new regime. Brown was acquired at midnight in exchange for RB Jonathon Stewart, the # 2 overall pick in 2008.

Brown, a 2010 4th round long-shot, finished 24th overall among WR's last year, despite playing in fellow Predator teammate Mike Wallace's shadow with the Steelers. Ironically, Wallace was also a 4th round round long-shot (a year prior) who exceeded expectations to become a top tier WR. The two will team up to be the anchors of the Predator WR corp. "We really liked the combination of speed and hands that Brown and Wallace give us. They compliment each other well and may well be among the best pair of 4th round picks in Frenzy history" said new Predators GM & Owner Mike SantaLucia. They better be, since currently they are the only 2 WR's on the Predator roster.

The Predators also tendered minimal value RFA contracts to WRs Vincent Jackson and Pierre Garcon, which might be an indication the Predators intend to match both players, however, with both playing on new NFL teams this upcoming season, that may or maynot be the case.

The Predators remain 4 deep at the RB position, and word within the organization is that they'd like to move one of those pieces to supplement their WR corp.

The team also announced today that TE Jared Cook has been moved to the active squad. Cook, a 3rd round pick in 2009 finished 15th overall among TE's last season, and really came on in the final 3 weeks where he was the #3 overall TE in that time period.

More upgrades and changes are sure to come in the coming weeks, though it is very unlikely changes will be made through the draft since the Predators were left with only the 2.12 pick by prior ownership. SantaLucia has openly announced that since he only has the one pick, he'd rather move it and sit out the 2012 rookie draft with a focus towards the 2013 class.

Stay tuned!
