Those kinds of plays were expected."

In the 1970's, the Vikings got back three quarterbacks that they had previously gotten rid of - Tarkenton, Bob Berry and Bob Lee.

I guess it depends on the definition of a "star" player.

I can think of a few Steelers who started with the team, made their careers there, left, then later returned: Larry Foote, Antwan Randle El, and I would argue Plaxico Burress.
