Evan Mathis was wasted for 3 years here before going on to be a 2x Pro Bowl, 1x All-Pro, and a SB Winner.
Clinton McDonald did nothing in a year (2 solo tackles) with the Bengals and went on to have 3 different 5.0+ sack seasons at DT and won a SB.
Dan Skuta left and got a 5 sack season with the 49ers.
Margus Hunt was terrible here but had a 5 sack season with the Colts.
Cobi Hamilton couldn't record a catch here over a couple years but put up 1 thoroughly mediocre year for the Steelers.
Cedric Ogbuehi went from pure dumpster fire with the Bengals to mediocre last year. Enough that the Seahawks offered him 1yr/$2.3m.

Evan Mathis had been cut by two teams in two years when the Bengals signed him.  He started in front of Livings in 2009 until he went down with injury.  In 2010 he was a fat out-of-shape slob who did not deserve to win.  there was tons of film on him yet he had to sign a league minimum contract.  He got back in shape and played great but the Bengal played him when he deserved to play here.

Hunt was a 3-4 DE who fit better with the Colts, but he still just had one decent season.  He did not deserve any more playing time with the 
Bengals because of the other players we had at DE.

Skuta, Hamilton, and Ogbuehi were never any better than average for a season or two with another team.

McDonald is probably thre only player who was actually a good player we let walk.

But compare that to the what the Bengals got out of guys who had been written off by their previous teams like Cedric Benson, Reggie Nelson, Richie Braham, Wallace Gilberry, Bobbie Williams, Kyle Cook, Terence Newman, and Dhani Jones
