Irv Smith and Nick Scott

Smith was signed to a cheap 1-Year contract. Nick was paid a little more, but he'll cost us $2 Mil in dead Cap (saving $2.3 MIL) in cap this year.

I also thought we did pretty good at signing a backup QB

I won't go as far as saying they're two of the worst ever, but there's more than just money that a bad signing costs a team. There's also opportunity cost. They were both given starting jobs and playing time because of their signings and because of their signing they didn't actually try to get actual NFL caliber starters. 

Both of them started and played the majority of the snaps in Week 2 when we lost by 3. Would a better TE or a better S have been able to change that L into a W in an important division game? The Houston game was another one. I am not saying that they definitively were the reason we lost and we would have won if they weren't on the team, but they were taking starts and playing time away from someone who could have been better and games can really swing on thin margins and having two really bad starters on your team makes it that much harder.

Jake Browning joined the Bengals in 2021, so that would actually be a re-signing.
