Cam Akers has accomplished his 360-degree flip.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Community reported Tuesday that the Houston Texans have traded the working again Akers to the Minnesota Vikings. Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round decide are going to Minnesota whereas a 2026 conditional sixth-round decide goes again to Houston.
The 25-year-old Akers, a former second-round decide by the Los Angeles Rams, appeared poised to be a stud for the Rams and was a member of their Tremendous Bowl LVI-winning crew. However Akers missed virtually all the 2021 season attributable to an Achilles rupture and was finally leapfrogged at working again by Kyren Williams.
Minnesota, the final remaining undefeated crew within the NFC at 5-0, already had Akers on their roster final season after they acquired him from the Rams in a commerce. However Akers managed solely a forgettable handful of video games with them earlier than he was positioned on season-ending injured reserve. (He then signed with the Texans within the offseason.)
Akers is again on the Vikings now, although, and will get a greater shot as a possible No. 2 to Aaron Jones than he obtained on a Texans crew that now has Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale all wholesome once more. Akers, a former Florida State star, nonetheless clearly has some worth and drew trade interest from an AFC team round this time final yr too.
