Samkon has proven that he can carry the load in Green Bay. He's got more experience (even though not much more) than Morency, and most of all, he's shown he can get the job done. If he can just do what he did last year, I think we got the good end of the deal.
The Packers seemed to like Noah Herron a lot and Morency will start as the #3 back there, so it will be awhile before he gets in there and starts, if he does. Also, I think Samkon is 3 years or so younger than Morency so hopefully Samkon will be with us for awhile. Since I live in the area, I must say, a lot of Green Bay fans really liked Samkon and will be upset with this trade.
And an undrafted free agent for a 3rd round pick means nothing. That was a year ago. Would you trade Eric Winston for Mike Bell? Things change. All this means is that Green Bay hit the jackpot with Gado.
