Samkon Gado is now a Houston Texan. We got some guy no one's heard of, Vernand Morency, in exchange.
The quote from Mike McCarthy was something about "neither team was really pushing for this trade."
What does that mean? If that's the case, why did it happen?
Gado, who came off the practice squad and played one year of college ball, mind you, did a great job of stepping up last season after some injuries and ended up being the Packers' leading rusher.
Having already released Najeh Davenport and Vonta Leach, the Packers are down to Ahman Green, William Henderson and Noah Herron. I'll remind you that Henderson is a fullback and Herron's a halfback.
At this point, seemingly bonehead roster moves are not too unusual, but no one seems to be sure why this trade happened. McCarthy was less than enthusiastic and Houston just picked up Ron Dayne, so you'd think they were Ok at RB.
One tidbit I just remembered here is that Mike Sherman is in Houston now, which may explain how Houston came to have a yen for formerly no-named Samkon Gado.
