Brandi Lloyd, Mount Horeb, Wis.: OK, rumor has it Mr. Jones is eyeing the Falcons' Joe Horn as a wide receiver in case the Terry Glenn deal falls through. And if it doesn't, is there room on the roster to add the guy anyway? Do the Cowboys want to shore up that position even more as many of the fans seem to think is necessary? What could the guy mean for Dallas?
Mickey: First of all, to all of you who are jumping on this Joe Horn thing, I just listened to what NFL Network's Adam Schefter said, and his exact word was the Cowboys are "debating" if adding the veteran wide receiver makes sense (another if coming) "if" the Terry Glenn thing does not work itself out. Lot of ifs there, especially since he's still property of the Falcons. Now I'm told the "debate" wasn't a long one, and that the Cowboys have not shown any interest in the veteran receiver if he comes available.
On top of that, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, being interviewed by ESPN during the Dallas Desperados playoff game Friday night, said when asked if the club might have interest in Horn, "That's not correct. I haven't experessed any interest there and haven't evaluated him, and that's just not correct." And if that is not good enough for you to dispell any notion of interest, here are some facts, and you guys decide for yourselves. Horn is 36, heading into his 13th NFL season. In the past three seasons he's caught 49 passes and 37 passes for New Orleans and then 27 last year in Atlanta. He's totaled six touchdown receptions over those three years. Injuries cut into his 2006, and last season in New Orleans, but most felt he was healthy at season's end. Yet new head coach Sean Payton kept him inactive for the playoffs and was more than ready to release him after the season. Certainly the Cowboys could lean on Payton for inside info on Horn. He then signed a deal with Atlanta guaranteeing him $7.5 million over the first two years of the deal, and while he started 12 games, Horn began taking a backseat to Roddy White (83 catches) and Laurent Robinson (37 catches), and then found himself running behind those two guys during the May minicamp. I'm assuming Jerry Jones, whose name came up in Bobby Petrino going to Arkansas, probably could lean on Petrino for more info on Horn, too. So what do you guys think? And please factor in Atlanta, if its sheds him, would be willing to eat a huge portion of the $7.5 million they guaranteed him last year. So why would they just throw money and cap space away? As for Glenn and Horn on the Cowboys, come on. I don't think so. My receiving corps then would be 36, 35 and 34. Yikes. End of story
