ANDREW AT THE 2018 MIT SSSAC
I gave a “Competitive Advantage” speech (like a Ted Talk) at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, taking attendees behind the curtain of on the inner workings of sports. You can hear all about my background, my experiences as an agent to Ricky Williams, running the Barcelona Dragons and going inside the ropes of the Green Bay Packers, including a step-by-step account of the drafting of Aaron Rodgers.Would you like Andrew speak at your next event?

SPORTS LAW SYMPOSIUM 2018
I host an annual Symposium every year at Villanova on the key issues in sports law and business. This year we addressed sports gambling with a pending US Supreme Court decision; athlete activism and whether players should “stick to sports”; and the #MeToo movement in sports featuring a survivor from the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. It was an informative, enlightening and powerful event.Would you like Andrew speak at your next event? Click here to reach out.

Maybe one day we'll find out (or not) what really happened with Brown and the Eagles.
— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) Jun 1, 2026
One of their best players, yet both sides wanted out.
In cases like this, it's usually more than "just business."
Something personal went on here.Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero)Finally! The Eagles have agreed to trade three-time Pro Bowl WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots, who will send a 2028 1st-round pick and 2027 5th-round pick to Philadelphia, sources tell The Insiders.
After months of speculation, it’s about to be official: A.J. Brown is a Patriot.— https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/2061543307705045240

It had to hurt Howie to not get that first-rounder in 2027, but never could drum up another suitor.

Thanks to the CBA, the Browns can’t give Jared Verse a contract upgrade even if the wanted to.
— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) Jun 1, 2026
No renegotiations before three years in the league; Verse only has two.
One of best value players on the league.
June 1, 2026 at 7:26 PM
Wondering if, as of this morning, there were better odds on Jared Verse or LeBron James moving from LA to Cleveland?

Translation: “Myles wanted out. We needed more time.”Spotrac (@spotrac)"we pushed Myles Garrett's option bonus dates for cap purposes not trade purposes"
