Will this lily bulb make it?

I got some giant lily bulbs at the end of season sale, 50% off this year, and one bulb that I received looked like this. Others are not too firm either, sort of watery.
Not sure of the lilies will survive, I'm not hoping for a show this year, only hope they make it for the next year, :(

put it in the ground.. or in a pot.. and find out.. how would we know ...

you have nothing to lose.. but the exercise of bending over and planting it...

thanks, i was just wondering if any one had any similar experience. or could offer some advice, should I water less if this is the case? or this is a dead dead case? the answer is of course to just plant and see i guess, thanks anyways
