Free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown has hired a new agent as he continues pursuing a return to the NFL in 2020.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the former All-Pro receiver hired agent Ed Wasielewski of EMG Sports to represent him. Brown's previous agent, Drew Rosenhaus, terminated his relationship with the wide receiver in January after asking him to seek counseling.
Brown missed most of the 2019 season after a tumultuous summer and fall. He spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Steelers before requesting a trade. Pittsburgh sent Brown to the Raiders, although his stint with Oakland turned rocky after he protested the NFL's new helmet policy and even threatened to retire at one point.
