Saints Release Cam Akers

The New Orleans Saints have released Cam Akers just a few months after he signed with the team in June.

Akers had been competing for a backup running back spot behind Alvin Camara.

Akers began his career with the Los Angeles Rams and has played for the Houston Texans and the Minnesota Vikings in two separate stints.

The Texans traded him to the Vikings last season, and he played in 12 games, carrying the ball 64 times for 297 yards and a touchdown.

He also caught 10 passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns while with Minnesota last year.

"NFL a crazy place," Akers wrote on X on Monday, adding a crying face emoji to his post..
