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).
