Mike Williams, Derrick Dockery, London Fletcher, Bruce Smith, Mike Sellars, Antonio Brown. All of our old players we dont want/need all went to Washington. Now Orakpo also can be counted

Why is Orakpo counted? As far as I know he was never a Bill.

When was Mike Sellers here? He was a FB for the Skins then went to Cleveland for a year and then back to Washington.

I think we got him as a UDFA and he was on the PS. Just a camp fodder who turned out good I guess.

Sellers was signed as an 18 or 19 year old to play in Canada...went from the Blue Bombers to the Skins.

Honestly, im not going to give the reason for why I thought Sellars was here because all of you will laugh and bash me.

See Mitch, this is why your threads/posts gets ridiculed...you don't fully think out things before just randomly typing things.

This whole thread is borderline ridiculous at best and completely wrong at worst.

I'm not meaning to be an a-hole about this post or mean, but it hurts one's credibility when you don't properly research out "facts" beforehand.

Ron McDole should be added to the list...

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

Roland Owen "Ron" McDole (born September 9, 1939 in Chester (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester,_Ohio), Ohio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio)) is a former American football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football) defensive end (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_end) from the University of Nebraska (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Nebraska-Lincoln) went to the Buffalo Bills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bills) of the American Football League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Football_League) after spending the 1962 season with the AFL's Houston Oilers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Titans). McDole went on to anchor the left side of the Bills' great defensive line for the next eight seasons.
The Bills finished tied with the Boston Patriots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Patriots) for the AFL's Eastern Division title in 1963, losing the playoff game to the Pats. They would win the division for the next three years, winning two American Football League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Football_League) championships, in 1964 and in 1965. McDole and his defensive team-mates held the opposition without a rushing touchdown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchdown) in 17 straight games over 1964-1965. McDole was the defensive team captain during those years, an AFL All-Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Football_League_All-Star_games) in 1965 and 1967. He was selected to the All-Time All-AFL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Football_League_All-Time_Team) second team.
From 1971 through 1978, McDole was a key defensive player for the NFL Washington Redskins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Redskins) under coach George Allen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Allen_%28football%29). Teammate Sonny Jurgensen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Jurgensen) gave him the nickname "The Dancing Bear" after showing off his moves at a Georgetown nightspot.
Ron McDole has the most interceptions by a lineman, with 12. He is also ranked #44 on the all-time list of games played in the NFL.

Yup- a lot of it was the Gregg Williams connection. Remember, Williams had the #2 D in the NFL here when he was head coach, and then he went to the Skins to be DC (or actually Assistant Head Coach- Defense, but I digress). He tried to re-claim as many ex-Bills as he could. Fletcher, Antonio Brown and Prioleau come immediately to mind, but I think there were several more back-ups/STers as well.

btw, it goes both ways- we originally picked up Dockery from the Skins before cutting his sorry ass two years later. We picked up S Matt Bowen in Marv's first pre-season. Guy got hurt in the first preseason game and never played a regular season game for us. And who can forget the illustrious Robert Royal? The Skins let him walk because they had Cooley, which is how we ended up with him.

And not all the guys who have gone from us to the Skins are worthless. Being in the DC area, I get way too much exposure to the Skins, and Fletcher is tearing it up. The coaches, the fans, the commentators- they all love the guy, and rightfully so. I went to the Skins/Giants game last year and watched him in person- he's still damn good.

Apparently Rob Johnsons career in Washington was brief and not memorable as no one has mentioned him yet

Rob Johnson is a terrible memory that we all subconsciously repress, kind of like that incident at summer camp involving the Scoutmaster and some vaseline.
