The Antonio Brown saga continues. In an attempt to get back into the league, the former All-Pro wide receiver has hired a new agent.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Brown has hired veteran agent, Ed Wasielewski of EMG Sports, after longtime agent Drew Rosenhaus cut ties with Brown until he “gets help.”
With his continued desire to return to the NFL this season, free-agent WR Antonio Brown has hired veteran agent Ed Wasielewski of EMG Sports to represent him, the agent told ESPN Monday.

According to his NFL Players Association profile, Wasielewski has negotiated contracts for 11 current NFL players, while EMG represents talent such as Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines and Miami Dolphins starting offensive tackle Julién Davenport.
As for Brown, things haven't gone well since the talented pass-catcher was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2019 offseason.
Brown was traded to the Oakland Raiders but was released prior to the start of the season after myriad off-the-field issues.

Brown then signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the New England Patriots. Brown played well in his first game with New England, recording four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.
However, after less than two weeks with the team, the Patriots released the seven-time Pro Bowler after allegations of sexual assault arose from Brown's former trainer, Britney Taylor.
Brown has been out of the league since and was arrested on charges of burglary and battery in January. Stemming from an alleged assault that occurred at his home, Brown turned himself in to authorities and was quickly released on bond.
On the field, Brown was named an All-Pro for four-straight seasons with the Steelers between 2014 and 2017. The former sixth-round pick led the NFL in receiving in 2014 and 2017 and led the league in receiving touchdowns (15) in 2018.
