Bottom line is he might be a Pro Bowl linebacker in a 4-3 when healthy. Go ask Rocky McIntosh if playing in a 4-3 is the same as playing in a 3-4.
I do agree with you he probably does want to prove he's still dominant, but that remains to be seen. Especially since he's never played in a 3-4 before. If we bring him in on an incentive deal I wouldn't be upset, but I'd also want to make him earn his starting spot.
I really do think Riley, if given the chance to start, will prove himself this season. But you never know, I'm not a coach, and if a coach decides it wouldn't hurt to bring him in, then he'll be here.
