Player Notes
May 15, 2008
Samkon Gado reportedly has a tryout scheduled with the Patriots, according to the Palm Beach Post. He was a restricted free agent that the Dolphins decided not to bring back.

Our View:The 25-year old Gado has produced good numbers when given a chance to play, and he memorably racked up three 100+ yard performances in 2005 while a member of the Packers, with 171 yards (on 29 carries) coming in Week 14 of that season. He would provide solid depth to the Patriots' RB stable, and could push Sammy Morris for playing time as the top backup.

The Dolphins have shown no interest in retaining Samkon Gado for next season, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Apparently, they don't find the 2.8 average for yards per carry he posted last year that enticing.
November 28, 2007
The Dolphins cut Samkon Gado last week after activating Ricky Williams, but with Williams now out for the season and Jesse Chatman hobbled by ankle and neck injuries, the team is expected to re-sign Gado. According to the Miami Herald, Gado is more likely to start this week than third-string backup Patrick Cobbs, who was the lone running back standing on Monday night after both Williams and Chatman were knocked out of the game.

Samkon Gado was released by the Texans Tuesday, the AP reports. The club obviously can't think too much of Gado, given that Ahman Green and Ron Dayne haven't shown much in 2007.
April 10, 2007
The Texans re-signed Samkon Gado on Tuesday, according to the Sports Network. Gado, who rushed for 210 yards and a score on 56 carries in 2006, will have a hard time getting much work next year with Ahman Green and Ron Dayne also in the fold.
