Running back Cam Akers has finally found a new home. After starting in Week 1, sitting in Week 2 and experiencing a roller coaster of team- and trade-related drama dating back to last fall, Akers has been traded from the Los Angeles Rams to the Minnesota Vikings.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Vikings will receive Akers and a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick for a conditional 2026 sixth-round selection.
In the real world, the deal should immediately help the Vikings, who have struggled on the ground tremendously this season and head into Week 3 ranked 30th in yards per carry and 32nd in rushing yards.
