According to Tom Pelissero, the Vikings did not tender pending restricted free agent RB Cam Akers, making him an unrestricted free agent.
This does not come as a big surprise, as Akers tore his Achilles for the second time in his career last year and Minnesota has made other moves at the position.
Akers, 24, was a second-round pick of the Rams out of Florida State in the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s in the final year of his four-year, $6,173,035 contract that included a $2,049,480 signing bonus.
The Vikings acquired Akers from the Rams back in September in exchange for a 2026 draft pick swap.
In 2023, Akers has appeared in seven games and rushed 22 times for 29 yards and one touchdown.
