Despite a stark lack of team success, linebacker AC Hackett has cemented himself as the league's best at one crucial skill: contract negotiation. Following a trade from the San Jose Sabercats to the Yellowknife Wraiths, despite the latter's world-class locker room, Hackett set out on his plan to become the highest-paid player in league history. While taking care to be a positive LR presence, he made clear that he was going to hit free agency in search of the proverbial "Brink's Truck."
Considering the relative dearth of free agents, Hackett recognized that he would never have more leverage and, thus, that the S3 offseason would be the best opportunity to achieve his goals. All of the subtle scheming culminated in The Letter, a statement released following the Wraiths premature playoff exit at the hand of the Baltimore Hawks. Hackett officially declared his intentions to test the free agent market and went on record that he valued salary above team quality in making his choice. Without question, his strategy paid off, as he went on to sign a two-year deal with an average annual value of 10mm, the highest in league history. And in terms of total value, Hackett's two-year deal nearly eclipsed the three-year contract of former starling Josh Bercovici. What the next free agent period has in store is a mystery, but if anyone is going to repeat his success, it's Hackett.
Oh yeah, he's also the smartest defensive player in the league and the king of self-aggrandizing PTs
