But his agent, Ralph Vitolo, contacted the Dolphins on Tuesday afternoon because they see Miami as a good situation. Horn, a 12-year veteran, could be a mentor for young Miami receivers Ted Ginn, Derek Hagan, Davone Bess and others.

Horn skipped all voluntary workouts, conditioning and other team functions this offseason. He reported to training camp, but admitted he did not study his playbook.

That's not going to work here. I don't expect him to be here. He'll be in Dallas when its all set and done imo.

Thanks Freestyle. Interesting. Does he have anything left? I see the logic in adding a vet at the Wr position. As long as we aren't cutting someone like Bess to make room then I wouldn't really mind. I would prefer Terry Glenn if healthy though

Any released veteran WR is going to see Miami as a possible destination considering how poorly our WRs currently look. No big surprise here.

Final MCAT attempt 5/28
Results: ???
Goal: 38+, Latest practice tests: 37, 35, 39

Please no. Our recievers will learn and get mentored from playing and from our WR Coach.

Very true, until they finally realize Ginn is a good reciever, just anyone not a miami fan realizes it yet.

I don't believe he has much left. He got cut by Atlanta who has one of their starting receivers down right now in Laurent Robinson and a non-impressive receiver in Michael Jenkins.

Jenkins played well to end the year last year, didn't he?

Yeh he did. Him and White, I beleive? Which IMO is why Horn is expendable, plus its mutual, he wanted out of ATL as well.

I'll take anything we can get at WR. We've already brought in Penny at QB to be a leader in the huddle, I dont see how bringing in Horn hurts us. The more veteran leadership the better IMO.

He had a couple good games the last six or so weeks but nothing spectacular imo. He got beat out by Laurent Robinson for the number two job. He was then promoted up to the number two job when Robinson went down with an injury last week.

Yeah after reading that, he will be a longshot to come here.

Probabally wants to come down and play Shuffleboard and Bingo with the rest of the seniors in S. Florida. No thanks.

IMO, Joe Horn has nothing and has had nothing left in the tank for the past 3 years.

What about Rodney White?

What about Roddy White? He's a very good receiver and was one of the top receivers last year. He put up 1200 yards last year. Many don't look at him as one of the better receivers since he has had only one good year. However, despite all those other big names in this league, Roddy White is second best receiver against elite Cornerbacks production wise, only behind Reggie Wayne.

No, No, No, No and No. I would rather stay with what we currently have. If he was disgruntled in one place that was not a contender, what will happen here. I dont care how much he wanted out of Atlanta, he was still a part of the team and had a responsibility to study his playbook and conduct his workouts. Do we really expect him to mentor our young receivers when he could have stayed at Atlanta and done the same thing there.

Why would Dallas want Horn? I would say Seattle,San Fran, maybe even Minn long before Dallas.


Thanks Gish

With Glenn gone, they need another guy to be the slot. They don't believe developing, young guys Sam Hurd, Miles Austin and Isiah Stanback are ready just yet from what I hear.

From what I've heard, they are high on Austin, but you never know with that riverboat gambler (J Jones).


Thanks Gish

Lets hope because I dont want him here. Why would he want to come to Miami any way we are in the same place the Falcons are.

Yeah, Austin is a good returner right now but is still developing as a receiver. I think Hurd is the best of the three young guys. He's being taken under the wing by Owens. I think Jones wants to add another veteran receiver though. I recall him inquiring about Horn earlier this off-season but then I don't know what happened after that. Also, good call on Seattle earlier, they could be a possibility with all the guys they have down right now.
