Most times you've seen an FOF player re-enter the draft?

SLB Mack DeVine was drafted 4 times in my most recent career

Philly drafted him first in 2005 at #18. His agent passed on a 4 year, $4.6 million contract and held his client out all season.

Being the persistant type, Philly re-drafted him in 2006 at #3 overall. They offered a 5 year $11 million contract this time, but agent Darnell Wilkerson once again bulked at the offer for the 38/65 rated DeVine.

2007 could have been the year for DeVine to finally step on an NFL field. Wilkerson (a 96 stubborn negotiator), also representing the #2 overall pick, agreed to terms for less overall money than the #3 overall pick. DeVine was drafted by Cincy at #23, but their 4 year, $4.62 million offer just wasn't enough to get him into camp.

At age 26, DeVine was redrafted by Cincy in 2008 at #19. Against all predictions, he came to terms with a 4 year, $4.78 million contract and went onto record 81 tackes, 1.5 sacks, and 2 INT's as the starting SLB. His ratings moved to 50/65 by the end of the season.

This is actually a neat feature of the game, but completely unrealistic and poorly implemented... there is no way that a player could hold out for more than one year, and it actually happens fairly regularly in FOF.
