WR - Larry Fitzgerald  & Troy Brown
I know you're a Patriots homer and all, but this is over the top even for that.

Limiting to just single-team wide receivers who were playing at the same time as Troy Brown: Michael Irvin, Rod Smith, Marvin Harrison, Hines Ward, Reggie Wayne, and Calvin Johnson all clear Troy Brown pretty easily.

Prior to 1993 I believe most great players always stayed with their one team. While free agency was around it was very difficult as teams could protect 37 players. In 1993 the owners granted players unrestricted free agency in exchange for setting the salary cap and the Wild West of the NFL began.

You could probably mount a good argument for the majority of the HOF Pittsburgh Steelers players from the Superbowl winning teams of the 1970s (Joe Greene, LC Greenwood, Mel Blount, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Jack Lambert, etc). It's amazing how many of them played for just that one team over their whole careers.
