Jason meets Grant, a sports agent, at Dillon High School during practice one day, who gives Jason his card and tells him to look him up whenever he is in New York City. However, the sports agent only gives Jason his card because he (the agent) was trying to sign Jason's former Panthers teammate, Wendell Foley, now a college football star. Jason misinterprets the statement and goes to New York with Tim, believing he will land a job at the agency and provide support and stay in Erin and Noah's lives. The agent, surprised to see him, tells Jason that he has graduates from Ivy League schools fighting to get into the firm daily, and that he must maintain quotas just to keep his own job. Furthermore, Foley has decided to sign with a different agent.
