The New Orleans Pelicans say they’ve voided around 2 [url=http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/tarik-cohen-jersey]Kyle Long Jersey[/url] ,500 playoff tickets that were purchased improperly during a pre-sale event for the second round of the NBA playoffs.

The club says the event was designed exclusively for season-tickets holders, but that codes provided for online purchases were shared with people who were not eligible for the promotion.

The Pelicans say they have not previously had a problem with the improper sharing of promotional codes for ticket sales, but that an ”unprecedented demand for playoff tickets resulted in tickets being purchased by non-season ticket or partial season ticket holders.”

The club says it conducted a review of the presale and voided all purchases from unqualified buyers.

The Pelicans say they have sought to notify those whose tickets have been voided [url=http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/brian-urlacher-jersey]Authentic Brian Urlacher Jersey[/url] , as well as business which sell Pelicans tickets on the secondary market.

The Jacksonville Jaguars declined to exercise the fifth-year option in defensive end Dante Fowler’s rookie contract.

The decision could mean Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 draft who had eight sacks last year, will become a free agent in 2019.

Executive vice president Tom Coughlin says ”we do like Dante and we feel that he’s on the verge of having a great season. … We want him to have a great season and earn a new long-term contract with us this year.”

Had the Jaguars picked up the option [url=http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/roquan-smith-jersey]Roquan Smith Bears Jersey[/url] , they could have been on the hook for $14.2 million for Fowler in 2019. The contract would have been guaranteed only for injury. It would have been a huge risk to take on a backup to Pro Bowl pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue.

Fowler has 12 sacks in three seasons, plus two more in the 2017 postseason.

He missed his entire rookie year in 2015 after tearing a knee ligament during his first minicamp. He also has dealt with off-field problems, including hitting a man and throwing his groceries in a lake in 2017.

Fowler was arrested in Miami Beach in March 2016 and charged with misdemeanor counts of assault against a police officer and resisting arrest without violence. The charges were later dropped. That arrest came a little more than two weeks after a video surfaced showing Fowler refereeing a violent fight between his girlfriend and an ex-girlfriend.

He also has a long list of traffic violations [url=http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/roquan-smith-jersey]Roquan Smith Jersey[/url] , including several for speeding.
