Seahawks Cut Cam Akers, Clearing Path for New Talent

0:00On April 27th, Seattle Seahawks just cut running back Cam Acres on Monday. The 26 year old back only suited up for three games last season, with the team that ended up hoisting the Super Bowl trophy. Earlier this week, they made the move after Acres joined the practice squad back in November to fill in when George Halani got hurt. He got some action, returning two kicks for 54 yards during that solid 27-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in December. Agers has a solid back story, though, coming off as a second round draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020. He even snagged a Super Bowl ring with him in 2022 before bouncing around. Now Seattle's loaded a running back with options like Rookie Gideri and Price from Notre Dame, who they grabbed at the 32 overall pick in last week's NFL Draft. This shake up clear space for the fresh talent as the Seahawks gear up for next season, keeping their back filled dynamic and deep. That's your NFL news today update, AI powered and always on.
