I'm a bit in the way-back machine. Charlie Joiner, Harold Jackson, Haven Moses, John Gilliam, Reggie Rucker, Roy Jefferson.

Bobby Mitchell and Paul Warfield, both ex-Browns, come to mind.

Lance Rentzel. And before him, Del Shofner.

Speaking of Lances, Alworth finished up with the Cowboys, where he won a Championship (though I'm sure he's more famous as a Charger).
Don Maynard started with the Giants.
In some cases it is a matter of opinion as to which team one player is associated with.
John Jefferson and Cris Carter had significant portions of their careers with more than one team.

Steve Largent... who may not qualify since I believe he was cut by the Oilers in training camp?
Jimmy Smith
Cris Carter

I think the vast majority of opinions would associate Jefferson with his three seasons San Diego, where he made three Pro Bowls, 2 All Pro teams, and led the league in TD catches 2x. He spent 4 years in Green Bay, but made just one Pro Bowl, after the shortened 1982 season, even though he didn't have a TD catch.
I can't imagine anyone associating Cris Carter with the Eagles, except for Buddy Ryan's famous reason for letting him go.
