    ...Sheppard spent the last two seasons in Miami after a stopover in Indianapolis. He was drafted in the third round by the Buffalo Bills in 2011. The Giants later announced the signing Monday, along with running back Bobby Rainey and offensive tackle Byron Stingily.

    The 28-year-old played in all 16 games for the Dolphins a year ago, logging 72 tackles and a pair of pass breakups. He'll join a platoon that is likely to include Devon Kennard and Keenan Robinson."...

    I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that trading Kelvin Sheppard for Jerry Hughes was a pretty smart move.

      Who says he'll even make the opening day roster ?

        Perhaps. But the replacement cost, Hughes for Sheppard, ended up in being immense.

          In that case, maybe we should build a roster of complete crap players. "You and I" will save a fortune.

            He didn't fit our D back then, and we got awesome value in return. But I wouldn't mind him coming back now, I think he can do what Rex asks of a LB (be big, stand around, look confused, and run 3 yards behind eligible receivers).

              Wish I'd have said this.
