Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports on his blog that Joe Horn feels used, and feels like the Giants never had any intention of signing him. Horn believes that he was brought in to create a “spark” and light a fire under the young receivers the Giants currently have.

“I was told to pack my clothes because I may be staying,” Horn told The Monty Show on Sporting News Radio earlier today. “I had a great workout, I thought. I ran crisp routes and didn’t drop any balls and I did what I was asked to do. It seemed like the coaches liked it. However, before I could step in the locker room I had an itinerary with my flight back to Atlanta. The opportunity was there. I appreciate the organization and Coach Coughlin for giving me the opportunity. But honestly I kind of felt like I was brought into give those young guys a spark to say, ‘Hey, I know you’ve got a job, but you can be replaced.’ So I think it kind of boosted and gave those young guys a spark to let them know that Joe Horn was there and their playing time could be taken if they don’t get their act together.”

Horn didn’t drop any passes in the workout but there was concern about the decline of the bursting speed he once had.

“I can still play,” he said. “I felt good running the routes, but it was kind of shocking to me why (they didn’t sign me). I was asking my agent, ‘Why would I come in on a Wednesday and be getting prepared to play on a Sunday Night against the Panthers?’ For the first 10 weeks I didn’t foresee that happening. But I took the trip, got on a plane, bumpy flight and all. I hate flying, but I did it because of the opportunity.”
