Seattle Seahawks har valgt at fyre running back Cam Akers efter blot én uge. Beslutningen kommer blot dage efter, at holdet i NFL-draftet hentede den unge løber Jadarian Price som nummer 32 i første runde. Prises tilgang har medført, at Akers nu er blevet overflødig i backfieldet.
Holdet meddelte lørdag, at kontrakten med Akers er blevet ophævet. Den 25-årige løber havde tidligere spillet tre kampe for Minnesota Vikings i 2023, inden han skiftede til Seattle. Her nåede han at deltage i tre kampe, men spillede aldrig en eneste offensiv snap. Til gengæld stod han for to kickoff-returns på i alt 54 yards. Akers var også med i én slutspilskamp, hvilket bidrog til, at han kunne hæve endnu en Super Bowl-ring. Han vandt sin første titel med Los Angeles Rams efter 2021-sæsonen.
Akers har tidligere også spillet for Houston Texans i løbet af sin NFL-karriere. Med ham ude af billedet består Seahawks’ running back-korps nu af Emanuel Wilson, Zach Charbonnet, George Holani, Kenny McIntosh og Jacardia Wright.
