The New Orleans Saints finished their roster cut. Several cuts that came with no surprise, including veteran running back Cam Akers.
The Saints released Akers, due to struggling in the preseason and being in the midst of a crowded room at the position. Cutting Akers was an easy decision, as he finished with the fifth lowest Saints offensive grades at 49.0.
All signs are beginning to show that his best days may be long gone. He had his best career season in 2022 with 787 yards and 6 touchdowns. Since then it has been a struggle to regenerate this production.
