NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints on Friday signed running back Cam Akers to a one-year deal following a tryout at minicamp this week.
Akers spent two practices with the team during mandatory minicamp, joining Alvin Kamara, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kendre Miller and rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal.
Akers, who turns 26 in June, was a second-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020. He spent the first three seasons of his career in Los Angeles before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings in 2023.
