"Antwone is a special player; he exemplified what the Shock organization is all about-on and off the field," General Manager Adam Nebeker said. "We'll miss him tremendously, but we're elated to see him get the chance to showcase his abilities at the next level."
Savage becomes the first player in Shock history to sign a contract with an AFL team.
