But just off the top of my head, here goes:
Renaldo Wynn
Bruce Smith
Mark Carrier
Jeff George
Jacquez Green
Reidel Anthony
Trung Canidate
Darrell Russell
Daryl Gardener
Jessie Armstead
Jeremiah Trotter
Danny Wuerffel
Shane Mathews
Brandon Noble
Joe Salave'a - wasn't even in another team's garbage can, was out of football
Philip Daniels
Those are just the guys I can think of -- I know there's more. The defensive line seems to be the recipient of most of the garbage, as evidenced by this team's neglect of that position in every single draft since 1997. Some, like Salave'a and Daniels have worked out OK, but it still represents this organization's tendency to treat the defensive line as an afterthought.

so dumpster diving is signing any free agent that doesn't stay with his old team... which means every free agent there ever was lol.
a bunch of thoses guys were super cheap, and gardener and noble both gave a good year before moving on.
