I think even in hindsight very few (if any) ever thought it would turn out that bad.
There are plenty of threads on how bad that contract is, though, so no need to rehash it here.
It would be nice if we could ever recoup ANY of the remaining value on that deal, but I don’t know how that realistically ever happens.
Getting something at all from the Trumbo or Cobb contracts is the best we can hope for, I guess....
