You're forgetting a few. Cooley, Marshall, and Sellers.

Yeah Matty I forgot about Cooley, and wasn't sure about Marshall or Sellers being DC's.

Just checked on both Sellers, and Marshall. We signed Sellers as an UFA in 98 and Marshall as a FA in 2001. I would like to see a little more home grown talent making up the core of our roster as opposed to FA's; so that's the main reason why I have for the most part disagreed with the trading away of DC's. Every year here we seem to always be in the "win now" mode which becomes a breeding ground for FA's. It's beginning to remind me of the George Allen era when "The Future Is Now" slogan was the order of the day.

Oh, and speaking of Sellers, he did have a short stint with Cleveland, and the Canadian league before coming back to the NFL and the Redskins after working out some of his personal problems.
