Joe Horn wanted it, and Joe Horn got it.

Horn, the 36-year-old Atlanta Falcons wide receiver, asked at the beginning of training camp for his release so he could catch on with a contender. Today, his wish was granted.

With trade talks going nowhere and the team looking to get younger and cheaper across the board, Horn was cut loose by the Falcons today. He's now free to sign with another team, according to his agent, Ralph Vitolo.

Horn is entering his 13th NFL season. He has 603 career catches for 8,744 yards and 76 touchdowns in career stops that have included the Chiefs, Saints and Falcons. Last year, he played 12 games for the Falcons and caught 27 passes.

How will Horn work out in the free agent market? Which team is clamoring for his services? Can he be a difference maker? If you think you know, translate that into some wagering and winning in the Bodog Sportsbook, your home for all the latest NFL Football Odds!
