Joe Horn is facing 10 YEARS in prison after the ex-NFL star just admitted to scamming the NFL's retired player health care plan out of nearly $150,000.

is facing 10 YEARS in prison after the ex-NFL star just pled guilty to scamming the NFL's retired player health care plan out of nearly $150,000.-- who was charged by federal prosecutors earlier this month with defrauding the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan.for things like expensive medical equipment and prescriptions that they never bought in the first place.

But, instead of fighting the case in court, 47-year-old Horn agreed to plead guilty on Thursday to one charge of conspiracy to commit health care fraud., the charge carries a sentence of up to 10 YEARS behind bars ... as well as fine of up to $250,000 -- plus probation. But, it seems Horn took the plea deal with the hopes a judge will take it easy on him at his sentencing hearing later next year.

As for the details of the plea agreement -- according to the docs, Horn admitted to submitting two false claims that totaled up to $149,775 ... and will have to pay that back. Horn is one of the greatest Saints of all-time ... logging 7,865 receiving yards and 51 receiving TDs in his 7 years in a New Orleans uniform.

Jetsfanspodcast charmphill341 this is sad because there’s s lot of former NFL players fighting to get covered by the league who have nothing and then you got guys like this ...

Who Dat say they gonna cop a plea

Disappointing

Dumb ass

Victimless crime. No need to do prison time over it. I’m Looking at what those USC parents got.

Prison

😲

He’ll get 6 months probation, that’ll do

NOT GUILTY

He was the receiver who pulled a cell phone out after scoring a td. He must've been calling the insurance company.

Shame he used his one phone call already

Damn.

Hope he can still run fast.

Greed. Play and simple.

Real Sports with Bryant Gumble

This is very small compared to the head trauma fraud nfl is covering up. Lol

Bruh these people check.their.SHIT!! Wrong people to try and defraud. With that being said, this does not deserve a 10 year sentence. That’s a bit much.
