...When you get 9 offensive TDs from a guy both running and passing then it is possible to think he is worth that money (which, in spite of some opinions, is just simply not top tier money). Plus at the time they also saw him as a homerun hitting returner and a very effective decoy...
TA got paid because of the 10 TDs. Period.
Snead has said so himself.
Right or wrong, it is possible to think that someone who produces that many TDs is worth the money. Maybe they got the value wrong but it had a basis in reason.
It's definitely not near one of the worst things to happen to the organization. I'd say high profile drafting failures are much worse and every organization does those.
