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.
