We can likely get Sheard for < $7M a year (wrong side of 30 now), he's a veteran presence and get 5 sacks a year. If Harris and Kinlaw are disruptive in the middle he will have more opportunities.

I wouldn't mind him back since he is pretty key to the run defense. Unless they find a guy who can rush and play the run. But when he is not in there the DE's we have were not able top stand up to the run all game long. That would create a chain reaction letting OL into our LB's. Leonard is then not as effective. So yeah, unless they find an upgrade I'm for re-signing him.
