ECURB Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2784681 NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints released four-time Pro Bowl receiver Joe Horn on Thursday, saying Horn asked to be let go after the Saints asked him to take a pay cut. "Joe really wanted to see where his value is around the league for his services," general manager Mickey Loomis said. "With as much as Joe has meant to the Saints and to New Orleans, we don't want to impede his desire to do so, and we have kept the door open for him to return to our team." Horn, who was the most frequent spokesman for the players during their Katrina-enforced exile during the 2005 season, had caught 523 passes for 7,622 yards and scored a team-record 50 touchdowns since coming to New Orleans as a free agent in 2000. He ranks second in club history in catches and yardage, and he is the team's all-time leader in 100-yard receiving games with 27. Horn, who turned 35 in January, missed the Saints' last four regular season games in 2006 and both playoff games because of a groin injury. He had 37 catches for 679 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetfan13 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I am very surprised he was released, He has been almost an ambassador to NO since Katrina. I would have thought they wouldhave come to some sort of agreement and I say NO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Wow. Saints will be targeting either a WR via the draft or in Free Agency. Possible reunion for Donte Stallworth in New Orleans? It's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
