I dislike Ebron, but I'd be happy with that type of deal.Knowing Pace, he'll sign Ebron to a 1-year, 3.5M prove you're healthy deal.

Not a bad idea. Would obviously still prefer Hopper.
Cutting Floyd gives you another position to spend on. And as I said in another thread, to get better than Floyd you may save a few million this year, but commit much more long-term to Mack's soon-to-be 25+Mil/year cap hit. Plus, you gotta sign a backup with or without Floyd/FA OLB. That money's going to go fast.
Competing QB- 5-7M
Ebron- 7M
RG 6-8M if you want anyone significant
SS 2-4 M
ILB 4-6M, and that's the high end if you want Kwit or Trevathan back
OLB 7-9
That's 33M with the low end, other than ILB. Leaves 11M for draft picks, in season moves, and you still need a longsnapper and backups at OLB, safety, and ILB at least....even if you use draft picks on the first 2 of those positions
I wouldn't trust Toliver for 16 games. Unless you are desperate for that 9m and willing to funnel that back into a probowl pass rusher I don't see it.
Pace has been trying to buy his way into a te since day 1. Sorry it doesn’t work like that why not develop the two undrafted guys and add another in the draft?
I prefer the NE model where you get rid of guys before they completely fall off. Prince is not worth the money and it is time to give others a chance. Either Pace knows what he is doing drafting or he doesn't.
Teams also get into trouble by assuming that their draft choices will just step up. Wannstedt was like that. Tolliver wasn’t drafted btw.
Not all draft choices and udfas are destined as starters. That’s nonsense. It’s ok if an UDFA is just a decent backup.

Never said they were. I said at this point Pace and Nagy should know whether Tolliver is or not. Spending 9 million on Prince is simply not good business. They had KT as the 1st backup at outside CB so it is time to see what he can do especially when Prince looked hobbled and shaky down the stretch (didnt watch Minny game)
HicksNE has not been the best at drafting over the years and have let some good players go that could of helped them like trading C.Jones who's consistently been one of the best pass rushers in the NFL every year.
To be fair to the Patriots, players don’t develop at the same pace. Some are later bloomers, like Hicks. It was very difficult to see how good Hicks could be in his 2nd/3rd year.Hicks
He showed potential with the Saints but started moving backwards. I looked up the stats and it seemed like Hicks was pretty productive in the time he spent with NE after traded even in a backupish role.To be fair to the Patriots, players don’t develop at the same pace.

Hopefully Trubisky is also a later bloomer since we don’t have any good options for upgrade in 2020.

It may be cheaper to have Toliver start but it also may lose you games.
