I have always spoken out in defense of T.O. - I STILL think he is an awesome player. But something stinks about this deal - bending the rules with a missed deadline, letting money talk as far as a guy getting to play with a team he wants to play with etc...

All that aside, what really matters to me as a Ni9er fan is I think I would have preferred the 3rd or 4th rounder pick. Time will tell what Whiting can do for the team. I think he will be good to start and we will probably see Engelberger rotate between DE and DT. Lots of pressure for Whiting to prove himself to all the pissed off Niner fans.

Haven't seen the '04 schedule yet, but I know I will be front and center for the Raven/Philly game. I'll bet Ray Lewis wants a piece of T.O!
