Seattle Seahawks Sign Running Back Cam Akers

Let’s be real: Akers isn’t coming in to steal the show from Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. That backfield duo is solid. Akers is a guy who’s tasted the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. He knows what it takes to win, and he’s hungry to prove he still has gas left in the tank. He’s had moments of brilliance, showing he can be a dynamic runner with good vision and value in the passing game.

Seattle’s offense, led by a surprisingly efficient Sam Darnold, is starting to find its groove. They’re 8-3 and looking like a genuine threat in the NFC. Adding a motivated Akers to the mix, even in a limited role, could provide the spark they need as they push toward the postseason. It’s a low-risk, high-reward move. If he flames out, no big deal. But if he can recapture even a fraction of his old form, he could be a valuable piece of the puzzle for a team with championship aspirations.

So, here we are. Akers gets another shot, Seattle gets some much-needed depth, and we get a juicy revenge game narrative. Will this be the chapter where the veteran finally turns his career around? Or is it just another stop on his NFL journeyman tour? Either way, you better believe all eyes will be on him this Sunday.
