NEWARK, N.J. - The New York Giants are talking to veteran wide receiver Joe Horn, the Newark Star-Ledger reported Wednesday.
A source told the newspaper that Horn arrived in the New York area Tuesday night and will take a physical with the Giants on Wednesday. The same individual told the newspaper that a signing could be imminent.
The 13-year veteran has been a free agent since the Atlanta Falcons released him in August, after Horn requested a trade.
The 36-year-old spent just one season with the Falcons after being cut by New Orleans in March 2007.
The Saints record holder for most touchdown receptions, Horn has 603 catches for 8,744 yards and 58 touchdowns during his career.
New York (11-3) developed a need at wide receiver after Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in a nightclub last month and landed on the non-football injury list.
The Giants have struggled with a 1-2 record in his absence and the offense has been held to 36 points over that span.
