Fun Thread: Roster History- 10 years later!

So, in the 10th season of one of my dynasty leagues, I decided to drop Tom Brady. My original QB drafted when the league began. The ultimate dynasty QB. So then I pressed the old History button and viewed my original roster. Amazing how many guys aren't even playing anymore or never really made it. Here's some of my 2011 roster highlights for fun:

My 2011 Team (12-2 record, won the league title)- Players no longer playing:
Calvin Johnson, WR, Det
Jonathan Stewart, RB, CAR
Reggie Bush, RB, MIA
Ray Rice, RB, BAL
Vernon Davis, TE, SF
Patrick Willis, LB, SF
Curtus Lofton, LB, ATL
Sam Bradford, QB, Stl
Carson Palmer, QB, OAK
Shane Vereen, RB, NE
Davone Bess, WR, Mia
Danario Alexander, WR, Stl
Denarius Moore, WR, Oak
Jacoby Ford, WR, Oak
Alex Green, RB, GB
Alex Henery, K, PHI (thought he'd be such a big time kicker!)

Guys still playing in the NFL from my 2011 team:
Tom Brady
Jimmy Graham
Jason Pierre-Paul
Kyle Rudolph
Sean Lee (still getting injured a lot, lol)
Ryan Kerrigan
Devin McCourtney

Anyone else been in a league for a good 7-10 seasons, any blasts from the past when you view your original roster? It's kind of fun to look and see.

The fact that any of them are playing is crazy. Very few players make it 10 years in, especially skill players.

Yeah, it's quite amazing! Even Pierre-Paul after his fireworks accident, and he's playing awesome this year too :)

My 2010 team (10-3, lost in the playoffs because almost all my players had bad games.)

Started:
Aaron Rodgers QB
Jamal Charles RB
Rashard Mendenhall RB
Michael Turner RB
Calvin Johnson WR
Vernon Davis TE
Rob Bironas PK
James Harrison LB
Curtis Lofton LB
Patrick Willis LB

I did have Ben Roethlisberger, Chad Henne, Mason Crosby (still in the NFL) and Dez Bryant (want back in) on my bench...

We're on year 6. Travis Kelce is the only OG member left.

Allen Hurns singlehandedly won my first title for me week 16.

This marks the 14th year of our league (with my home town buddies). I'm not sure any of us knew what we were doing those first few years (I sure did not). I went 8-5 that year with the following squad (yikes):

QB: David Garrard
RB: Addai
RB: Ryan Grant
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Donald Driver
WR: Kevin Walter
TE: Donald Lee
K: Vinatieri!
Bench
QB: Bulger
RB: Edgerrin James
TE: Alge Crumpler
WR: Issac Bruce
WR: Ronald Curry
QB: Alex Smith

I remember 'cashing out' that offseason on Randy Moss. I believe I got Steve Smith (1.0) and Santonio Holmes for him.

Any idea how Hurns was thought of on here? I remember picking him up preseason in redraft along with Crowell and they were outstanding early.

Drafted Frank Gore in the first year I joined my league in 2005, his rookie year. Traded him away a few years ago. Twitter has some funny Frank Gore jokes from time to time like the 49ers drafted him 75 years ago, lol.
