Honestly this is how I feel about it. I do think it’s time we moved on from him but I’m always going to be glad he was a Dolphin.Eh, let him be overconfident...he's a CB and brought us some good years

Yup, which can and will be said about every single player eventually.The keyword being "was" which signifies past tense as in something that has occurred ... in the past.
seems to me there is reason behind some of the negative comments about the player.Yup, which can and will be said about every single player eventually.
Does that make his contributions over 8 years null and void?
Or are you just the type of fan who can only see what's in front of him at this exact moment...present tense.
Prob would have been better to trade him but at best we were only getting a second it was reported. It was summer before 2021 and Flores ran off other players so I thought we needed to keep him because it was all ready camp and we needed players.He was overpaid in his initial contract based on projection (if you doubt this, go lookup his stats and injuries prior to signing that deal), they then addressed that contract when he actually played well, gave him yet another adjustment, all while his play was declining. I really wish they had traded him when he first started complaining, we could have gotten at first and probably more, and not dealt with the cap situation getting rid of him now will bring.
To address the people upset that people aren't happy with him: I've been saying he should be traded for 3+ years now.

I think we can appreciate his contribution, but also recognize that his tactics in extorting money on a freshly signed contract was lame. And Grier, crumbling in to his demands was just as bad or worse. We should have traded him then. He cant pull that sh1t and expect to be adored by the organization and fans in his declining years with lower performance.Yup, which can and will be said about every single player eventually.

And if you were X you would expect to maximize the earnings from your very short lived professional football career as well.I think we can appreciate his contribution, but also recognize that his tactics in extorting money on a freshly signed contract was lame.

I understand when a player is negotiating a contract and uses the phrase "its business". But I also understand that at a certain point, the Organization will use the same phrase "its a business.
Its a 2 way street.
But when a player demands to re-negotiate a well compensated freshly signed contract because he is bent that someone else got a better deal, they can eat a bag of dicks. Blame your agent, not extort the organization. At some level this is either a team sport, or just a group of individual contractors.
So in your opinion then, a signed contract means nothing. It's every players only responsibility to maximize his earnings, without regard to contracts. Does that apply to every aspect of the economy? Resulting in utter chaos.And if you were X you would expect to maximize the earnings from your very short lived professional football career as well.
Fans need to realize the players couldn't care less about the team or more about their paycheck
Where was this reported? Every report I was seeing at the time was suggesting a first and a third.Prob would have been better to trade him but at best we were only getting a second it was reported. It was summer before 2021 and Flores ran off other players so I thought we needed to keep him because it was all ready camp and we needed players.
But since we only finished 9-8 that year prob should have traded him in hindsight
I mean that is literally the definition of a me player. They can f*ck right off. Defending that type of player is pathetic man.And if you were X you would expect to maximize the earnings from your very short lived professional football career as well.
