Ayla Jackson has known Kai Harrison for years. Due to his reputation, she never thought much of him. But after an encounter that changed everything, they would embark on a journey that neither would anticipate, but one that was foredestined.
"So Anthony what do you think about the final copy of the contract?," I asked.
"Honestly Kai....I think it's perfect. I read it over, had my lawyer read it over and we both agree it's the perfect deal for me. Four years for 30 million with the Miami Dolphins and a signing bonus of 15 million....I can't believe it," Anthony said while smiling.

Anthony Wallace is a very talented wide receiver that was just drafted by the Miami Dolphins a few months back as a first round pick, number three overall. He was one of the top wide receivers in the country during his college years at University of Miami. He was born and raised in Miami, so it has always been a dream of his to play for the Dolphins. And his dreams are about to come true.
"I'm so happy to hear that," I said while smiling.
"Kai I can't thank you enough. Thank you for always being so responsive to emails and calls, always answering all of my questions I really appreciate your help throughout this entire process," Anthony said.
"It's no worries at all. I'm here just for those reasons. And don't forget this relationship is just beginning. Even after you sign, you can always hit me up if you need anything. It's important we maintain constant conversation the entire time I am your agent as you are in the NFL," I responded. Anthony nods his head and holds out his hand and I shake it and we share a quick embrace.
"Ok so if you're good with everything I can call the representatives for the Dolphins and we can do this today if you're ready," I said.
"I'm definitely ready. My lawyer and my parents are already here. So let's do it," Anthony asked.
"Of course give me a minute to call them and I'll get a time today," I said. Anthony nods his head and I excuse myself from the conference room we were meeting in. I make the necessary calls and the representatives for the Miami Dolphins say they will be right down to make this happen. We are in the Miami Dolphins stadium and I am very excited we can make this happen today. I love signing days, they make all the tough calls and negotiations worth it. Anthony seems like a good guy and I know he will be very happy living out his dream playing in his hometown.
Within two hours, we are wrapping up the final pictures after Anthony officially signed for the Miami Dolphins! Of course after the photo op, I gifted Anthony with a gift basket like I do for all of my clients. Anthony looks over the items in the basket and then holds his hand out to me.
"Kai it has been a pleasure working with you. You really helped to make this happen and I cannot thank you enough. As of now....my life has officially changed for the better," Anthony said. I smile softly and I shake his hand and we share another embrace.
