Tim MacMahon of the Dallas Morning News is suggesting that since the Falcons’ Joe Horn has asked for a trade, that the Cowboys should make a play for the aging wide receiver and stick him opposite Terrell Owens.
The Cowboys have made no secret of the fact that they’re in the market for a playmaking WR to put opposite T.O. Joe Horn has made no secret of the fact that he wants the heck out of Atlanta.
Do we have a match or what?
If the Cowboys add Horn to the Valley Ranch Circus, they would probably have the most quotable receiver corps in NFL history. Horn could definitely help T.O. come up with a few more creative end zone dances, and he’d be pure gold on Hard Knocks.
Pretty much the only negative I can come up with is the strong possibility that Horn, a former Pro Bowler, is washed up (27 catches, 243 yards, 1 TD last season).
Horn was on his last legs two years ago. The fact that he got over $4 million a year from the Falcons last offseason was a joke. However, he’s always been a warrior and might have a little left in the tank for a competitor like Dallas. The Cowboys could do worse than to have Horn in the slot, but I doubt he’s a better option at this point than Patrick Crayton (seven touchdowns last year).
