Seahawks Release Cam Akers, Clearing Path for Rookies

0:00On April 27th, Seattle Seahawks just dropped a key running back after their solid NFL draft. They released 26-year-old Cam Acres, a Super Bowl champ whose bounce between five teams already, including the Vikings, Texans, Rams, Saints, and now X Seahawks. Acres joined Seattle mid-season last year for Minnesota, but barely saw the field, suiting up for just three gains with zero carries. Meanwhile, the Seahawks added eight new players in the draft, sitting at 82 on the roster now, with a room to grow up to 91, including exemptions. Fans see this as no surprise, given Acres' journeyman status and limited impact here. Seattle thrived offensively with Sam Darnold under center, and guys like Zach Sharbonne had strong years, while Rookie Giderian price eyes real snaps right away. This clear space ahead of Rookie Mini Camp, where undrafted free agents will join up. It's a smart reset for a balanced attack that doesn't need Acres long-term. Seahawks keep building momentum, positioning sharp for whatever comes next in the league
