It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I can think of plenty pre-BB (Steve McMichael, Nick Buoniconti, Mike Haynes, Curtis Martin, Sean Morey, etc.) that had as much if not more success elsewhere, but the list is pretty short during the Belichick era.
Robbie Gould
Dave Thomas
Matt Cassel
Debatable:
Damien Woody
Ty Law
Jermaine Wiggins
Asante Samuel
Heath Evans
Ben Watson
Then there is Kevin O'Connell, who did go on to become captain of his new team.
The team obviously should be given a pass on Gould, considering Vinatieri was the incumbent kicker at that time. Same deal for Cassel with Brady on the roster.
I thought Morey was gone before Belichick was here - no?Good lists. Your debatable ones are pretty much in the "played about the same and hence it's debatable whether they should have been kept" category for me.
A couple you're missing from BB's early days. Greg Spires did better in another system. Sean Morey became a Pro Bowler. And there probably were a number of lateral moves of unexceptional players, from Randy Gay down to Dan Klecko.
It's funny I did think of Gaffney. I guess I started thinking of other players; I don't know why I left him off that list.Jabar Gaffney
I thought Morey was gone before Belichick was here - no?
I assume you're talking about his tying TD in the 06 AFC Championship, that was set up by a bull**** face-guarding penalty the play before.Klecko kind of hurt us once after he left
Eugene Wilson yes/no?
