Inspired by the Early Release, But Long Career thread... how about the Babe Ruth with the Braves thing in the NFL?
There should a a lot of them and I am just doing HOFers, though others would be good, who changed teams late and were "hanging on"
Herb Adderley, signed and Cut by Pats and Rams in July-Aug 1973
Bob Hayes with 49ers
Johnny U with Chargers
Deacon with Redskins
Lots of WRs, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Cris Carter, Irving Fryar (non HOFer, Harold Jackson (non HOFer),
Jim Tyrer Redskins
Bill George Rams
Maxie Baughan Redskins
Joe Namath Rams

Jerry Rice -- (Last played with) Seattle Seahawks / (Retired in training camp) Denver Broncos
Joe Namath -- Rams
This kind of mirrors one of my favorite trivia topics.
If someone says they know pro football one of the quizzes I'll give them is "With what team did _______ finish their careers?" I usually start with Deacon Jones, Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath.
If someone draws a complete blank on those it's a good bet their knowledge is not as extensive as they think it is.
