The truth is, nearly the whole bill for JT has been payed already. There's the 6th next year still outstanding, but the 2nd, the opportunity cost of giving him a roster spot, and the salary (zero dead cap) is off the books entirely. So now that the draft is over, we can forget that this ever happened.

It was the kind of result that I saw coming a mile away when we threw picks at a problem out of desperation, and I thought it was a really obvious gaffe. Sure, in hindsight, it's obvious we got our pants dropped on this one, but a lot of us thought at the time it was a great move, and that surprised me.
