How much SM$ did they cough up to the seemingly quite washed-up Darian Durant ? Too gutless to develop their own young QBs behind Nichols? Durant isn't going to do a thing there even if Nichols is injured first game of the year there - they'd end up in last place just like the Als did with Durant at QB. Not sure how much they paid for Bowman but at least it was in a huge area of need (receiver), but they may have way over-paid there too.

IF they could have Okpo (plus Muamaba) on their starting defence but are too cheap / blow $M$ bucks on clowns = they deserve a losing season.
You also have to factor in that Nichols got a big pay bump this year. I believe he was still under his Eskimos contract in 2017 which was a back up contract. He likely went from about 150k or so to 400k +.
