I have compiled a list of players who we have lost that were on rosters of last week's playoff teams. I may have missed some, but these guys would be the basis of a good team with the few good players we still have. So we haven't drafted well and to top it off, we haven't held onto what we have had. Hopefully the new regime will change all this. Time will tell.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_Droughns

NFL career

He was drafted by the Detroit Lions out of the University of Oregon in the third round (81st pick overall) of the 2000 NFL Draft. Droughns spent the season on injured reserve after separating his right shoulder on his first carry in Detroit's opening preseason game vs. New England (8/4). He was placed on injured reserve Aug. 22.
Next year played in nine games and started three for the Lions, rushing for 72 yards on 30 carries (2.4) and catching four passes for 21 yards (5.3) and a touchdown (vs. Tampa Bay, 11/11/01). He was waived by Detroit after Week 1 (9/12) and was signed to Miami's practice squad Sept. 18 before being re-signed by the Lions Oct. 9.
He played for the Denver Broncos for three seasons. Although originally intended to be a fullback, he became one of many 1,000-yard rushers, amassing that in 2004. Despite rushing for 1,240 yards in 2004, Droughns was not guaranteed the starting job for the 2005 season, so he asked for a trade.[1] He was traded to the Cleveland Browns by the Denver Broncos on March 30, 2005, for defensive linemen Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Myers. In his debut season with the Browns, he became the first Browns player to gain 1,000 yards rushing in a season since Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack both achieved the feat in 1985. On March 9, 2007, Droughns was traded to the New York Giants in exchange for WR Tim Carter.[2] Droughns will battle Brandon Jacobs for the starting job but is expected to be the back-up running back for the Giants, and help Jacobs replace the retired Tiki Barber. However, due to his poor performances throughout the year, he has dropped to fourth on the Giants depth chart, behind even rookie Ahmad Bradshaw, and was replaced by the latter as kick returner after similar special-teams performances. It is not expected that he will be kept on for the 2008-2009 season.

This is what I found on Wikipedia.

Kyle Eckle on the chea... I mean Pats
 
He's been there for a long time but Chris Gray, guard for Seattle started out with the Dolphins. I believe he was drafted by us (Shula) and played for two or three years before moving on. Since then he's been a mainstay on Seattle's line.

Anyway, not sure if he would qualify for your point, but I've kind of followed him along throughout his career. Imagine how nice it would feel to have a position along the line secured for so many years. Like R Webb was for us.

Perhaps Carey and Satele are heading that way...
 
CB Geoffrey Pope who was atleast in for training camp this year, he is on the Giants roster... even recorded a tackle last week.
 
wasn't sprolls(spelling?) of the chargers cut by the fins in preseason a couple of years ago??
