Baltimore Ravens Reportedly Contacting WR Joe Horn
You can add another name to the list of wide receivers that the Baltimore Ravens' are going to take a look at this week, prior to the rookies and select veterans (which interestingly includes Willis McGahee) reporting on Monday. Former New Orleans Saints and most recently Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Joe Horn (originally drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs) has been reportedly contacted by the Ravens regarding their looking at adding a wideout (or two) to the receiving corps. Horn, who has not played since 2007, is a 13 year NFL veteran, with over 600 receptions and 8,700 yards, with 58 touchdown catches. However, his last NFL season as a Falcon was insignificant and his last three overall showed a significant decline in production.
Here are the stats from his last four years:
Joe Horn: Age: 37; 6'1", 211 lbs.; Experience-13th season
Year Team Rec. Yards Avg. TD's
2007 Atlanta 27 243 9.0 1
2006 New Orleans 37 679 18.4 4
2005 New Orleans 49 654 13.3 1
2004 New Orleans 94 1,399 14.9 11
While he put up great numbers in the earlier years alongside his teammate on the Saints, Dante Stallworth, they had a pass-first offense even with Deuce McAllister at running back. At the same time, missing of the entire 2008 season along with his diminished production over the past few years, puts him in the same boat as D.J. Hackett and Drew Bennett. Furthermore, there is every reason to believe that the Ravens younger receivers will only improve with game exerience, while these guys are on the downward slopes, even spirals of their careers.
I'll take potential over experience, especially with ther higher risk of injury along with their poor recent numbers.

37 years old?!
Why doesn’t Ozzie get in touch with Jerry Rice while he’s at it? Or Michael Irvin? Herman Moore? Art Monk? The possibilities are ENDLESS!

I wouldn’t mind Billy “White Shoes” Johnson. Him and Ray coming out the tunnel together, the performance would rival Riverdance.

Joe Flacco should just say “argh” after everything.

Pretty sweet pirate name.

argh mateys!
Joe Flacco – "Hear ye, Hear ye! All ye scallywags enter my huddle! The play be “I” 46-dive, me mateys! The snap be on 3, argh!"
Todd Heap – “But capitain, me peg leg be broken anew! I be needin’ the services of ye olde training room, argh! L.J. will have to account for me duties until me peg leg can be repaired!”
Joe Flacco – “Argh, Todd, always with ye peg leg, isn’t it?”

Marvin Harrison
I think that the Ravens should look at signing Marvin Harrison. Yeah he’s old but he still contributes relatively well and it would give Joe Flacco a proven wideout that runs great routes. Since no one is really talking to him from what I hear, i think that the Ravens would ultimately be able to get Harrison for a somewhat cheap price

Not gonna happen, besides...
….it wouldn’t be THAT cheap, as Harrison is “above” trying out and wants a multi-year deal, which would be very dumb for the Ravens to give to an aging injury-prone has been. Sorry, but while Marvin was very good and a thorn in the Ravens and especially Chris McAlister’s side, he is a mere shell of the guy you are thinking about who could help us.

plus, he's lookin sketchy right now
I’m not saying he put the “green light” on that witness in his case, but that issue is still unresolved. Harrison’s gun shot a guy, the NFL doesn’t know the specifics of it, and then the victim in the case gets shot up again and is left in critical condition. If I were a GM, I wouldn’t want to touch any player even remotely associated with this situation.

plus, if they wanted harrison
they defnitely wouldn’t have called Horn’s agent. at this point, the two present pretty similar skill sets: crisp route running and good hands, with declining speed and questionable durability.

We should sign Horn
Just so he can retire a Raven.

That is the cool thing to do now, right?
