ā€œAfter we get the ring in [2020], the next year, I’m the last guy that signed,ā€ Brown in an interview on the ā€œMillion Dollaz Worth of Gameā€ podcast. ā€œMy agent, Ed Wasielewski, is getting called, cursed out by Tom Brady over ā€˜Why is he pushing back for the contract for scraps?’ Imagine if you heard that, the same guy that brought you in to win a ring, the same agent he told you to hook up with to get the deal, is now telling me, the guy’s calling him … cursing him out about scraps of a contract.ā€
