He left the game and the stadium early, leaving behind a heartbroken fan base that had waited for a new era with the Jets. Sadly, the bad news did not end there for the fans.

NFL agent Weiss was also the founder of Dynamic Sports Group, a successful sports agency that he launched in 2019. He represented several notable clients, including Chargers star Austin Ekeler, whom he helped secure a 4 year, $24.5 million contract in 2020. He also worked with NFL trailblazer Michael Sam, Eagles running back Boston Scott, and various professional soccer and baseball players.
