I remember when we signed Trey we had a ton of naysayers crying he was a one hit wonder and thought team screwed up. 

For every Trey Hendrickson there's dozens or more Will Clarke/Jordan Willis/Khalid Kareem/etc.

If they've been in the NFL for 4-5 years (Ossai and Cam Sample both heading into Year 5), it's overwhelmingly likely they just are who they are at this point.

That's like a team saying "we don't need to draft a QB early or spend big money on a FA QB, did anyone look at when Tom Brady was drafted?" and rolling with a 6th or 7th round pick QB. Relying on an exception to the norm is not a real plan.
