During the Rams’ playoff journey, Akers rushed 67 times for 172 yards along with eight receptions for additional 76 yards, per Pro Football Reference. While a torn Achilles tendon suffered before the start of the 2021 NFL season kept him out most of the year, the 23-year-old was able to return in Week 18 and quickly became a key part of the team’s offense.

As previously reported, “If Buffalo decides to part ways with Smith amid the suspension, they “can free up $1.1M of cap space.”Īkers is due $1.17 million for the 2022 NFL season, and $1.45 million in 2023, per. Last week, Buffalo announced they were releasing linebacker Andre Smith, who was just about to return from serving a six-game suspension due to performance-enhancing drugs. Stay for WR Ben Skowronek playing Fullback and lead blocking against 6'4, 260 pound LB Zaven Collins for the score. “That’s something we’ve explored… There’s probably a move that will be made in regard to him being with another team.” “There is a possibility that we could try to help him look for a fresh start with another team,” McVay said. Things have since soured between Akers and the Rams, and head coach Sean McVay confirmed that the two parties were looking to part ways on Monday, October 17. However, another running back recently became available that could bolster Buffalo’s run game, Los Angeles Rams’ Cam Akers, who was the team’s starter during their Super Bowl 56 victory. The Niners gave up their second, third, and fourth-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft along with a fifth-rounder in 2024, so it’s a relief the Bills didn’t try to top that offer. While the Buffalo Bills had shown interest in acquiring Christian McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers, the San Francisco 49ers swooped in late Thursday night to sign the All-Pro running back. Cam Akers #3 of the Los Angeles Rams carries the ball past Nick Kwiatkoski #53 of the Atlanta Falcons during the second quarter at SoFi Stadium on September 18, 2022.
