Green Bay Packers received

  • Vernand Morency

Houston Texans received

  • Samkon Gado

Green Bay swapped Samkon Gado for Vernand Morency after deciding Morency's one-cut style better fit its zone-running system. Morency rewarded the Packers with 421 rushing yards at 4.6 yards per carry in 2006 and remained part of the backfield in 2007. Gado gave Houston useful depth but only 263 rushing yards across two seasons, leaving Green Bay with the better direct return.
