Cam Akers was released by Seattle on April 28, 2026, after the team selected Jadarian Price with the 32nd overall pick in the draft.
Role & trajectory
Akers logged only 7.0% snap share and 1.3% carry share across just two games in his final stint with Seattle, indicating minimal competition for touches.
Projected outlook
As a free agent, Akers faces significant depth chart challenges, including competition from established players like Kenneth Walker III and George Holani, as well as potential rookie additions.
Risk & schedule
Akers' two Achilles injuries in his career severely limit his availability and explosiveness, making him a high-risk bench option despite showing some pass-catching ability earlier in his career.
