You’ve Gado love the trade

It was one of the quieter NFL trades these past few weeks, but Houston’s acquisition of Green Bay running back Sam Gado could have the biggest impact on the league before the season is over.

Gado, who averaged 4.1 yards per carry and scored six times last season, will be a nice fit with the Texans. A real nice fit. If you think you can get Gado on the cheap then go for it because 1,000 yards isn’t out of the question. Expect the big man to split carries with Wali Lundy early on, but the cream will rise to the top of the depth chart before the season is over.

With hardly any other weapons on offense last season, Gado looked shined last season. Houston’s big weakness is its offensive line, but Green Bay’s front five aren’t exactly pro bowlers either. Houston has a decent passing attack when David Carr isn’t laying on his back and that will open up opportunities for Gado.

I would trade a receiver ranked between 20-30 for Gado. You should too.
