Another trade?

You don't see this too often: two teams swapping second-year RBs. Green Bay dealt 2005 breakout star Samkon Gado to Houston for Vernand Morency. So why should you care?

Morency probably loses what little value he had for the time being now that he's backing up a healthy Ahman Green. But keep an eye on Gado ... the Texans' running game is a little unsettled right now, and I expect Gado, a much bigger power runner, to eventually steal some carries from diminutive starter Wali Lundy and the unpredictable Ron Dayne. Gado likely got a good recommendation from Mike Sherman, his coach last year in Green Bay who's now an assistant coach and offensive line coach with Houston.
