Why trade Horn?

Thought I\'d examine the \"age\" issue a little further just to see what I could come up with. Here\'s some stats from a few recent oldies, starting when they reached age 32:

Jerry Rice - Aged 32 in 1994. 841 rec, 11119 yds & 65 TD\'s from 1994 - 2004. That\'s an average of 76 rec, 1010 yds & 6 TD\'s. This also includes the 1997 season where he appeared in only 2 games. Will be 43 years old this year.

Tim Brown - Aged 32 in 1998. 495 rec, 6346 yds & 40 TD\'s from 1998 - 2004. That\'s an average of 71 rec, 907 yds & 6 TD\'s. Will be 39 this year.

Jimmy Smith - Aged 32 in 2001. 320 rec, 4377 yds & 25 TD\'s from 2001 - 2004. That\'s an average of 80 rec, 1094 yds & 6 TD\'s. Two of those seasons have been Byron Leftwich\'s training period. Just turned 36.

Isaac Bruce - was 34 this season. Posted 89 rec, 1292 yds & 6 TD\'s as the #2 WR in the St. Louis offense.

I\'m not trying to push an agenda. In fact, I never expected the stats to be this encouraging. Heck, Jerry Rice didn\'t even get started until about age 30! Obviously, Horn is no Jerry Rice, but there seems to be more hope than I previously thought...
