Jonathan Joseph 
Jermaine Gresham (He was never the same after he played through that back injury, though.)
Takeo Spikes

Do you count Justin Smith? He got franchise tagged after his rookie contract, and walked right after that.

Marvin Jones and Kevin Zeitler probably fall short of the requirements. I do wonder a bit if being with the Bengals contributed to them not being stars.

I do agree with your general point, but once you asked the question then I was curious to the answer.
