Good grief. Never hold out. I remember when Don Majkowski (the Magic Man) held out after a good season and a guy Mamés Brett Favre was given the job. Not sure Don ever did anything again. I’m sure it cost him a fortune.

I have to go with Grant also. I don't know what some people see in him. The only thing he has going for him is his speed. He is like a poor man's Ted Ginn. A short version of him and the same problem of not being able to catch the ball. I don't really even trust him on kick and punt returns, as he is suspect at that too.

Most of those guys I wouldn't call them overrated, they just plain sucked. The Jamar Fletcher pick was just awful. Not only did we not need another cornerback, but Drew Brees was available and we needed a QB.
Marco Coleman.
Before NFL ticket I didn't see as many games as I do now, but I remember announcers hyping him, I remember he got the big contract after 1995 with San Diego, but I don't remember him ever making a whole lot of plays or being a force to deal with, especially considering where he was drafted.

Another overrated player for us was Tannehill. He had absolutely no pocket presence and wasn't a game changing QB. We waited so many years expecting for him to get better, but he never did with us. I'll give him some credit with what he did for the Titans but it is hard to tell if he played better or just had a great supporting cast. Regardless, it was time to move on from him because I didn't see us winning the superbowl with him at QB.

If the Dolphins some how end up with Eason, Love or Herbert....that player will be the most overrated player in Davie lore.

The strongest of all the Sloans.
For a reaction.
Bobby Humphrey liked the nightlife....and all that that entails.
I remember Majkowski well. Wound up with the Colts. I don't think he held out. He got hurt after signing a big deal in GB and eventually lost the job to Favre.

You couldn't ask for a better start to a career than his tho. 4 straight Pro Bowls, allowed just 6.5 sacks combined his first two seasons. He played great for four years here, then the injures happened. The Rams were the ones who got screwed when they signed him as a FA. I wouldn't say he was overrated when he was a Miami Dolphin, far from it.
I don’t think he was overrated, everyone knew he sucked.
I’m going with Long here too. Wasn’t he also notorious for getting false starts and holding penalties during home games as well? I vaguely remember.
