Akers, who spent half of the 2024 season as the Texans ' No. 2 runner, agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints Friday afternoon. He will join the franchise as a backup to Alvin Kamara, along with returning secondary option Kendre Miller and rookie Devin Neal.

Cam Akers will join this third team in three years after the former Los Angeles Rams second-round pick signed with the New Orleans Saints this week, according to The Athletic 's Dianna Russini.

"I'm still hungry and I'm young," Akers said at Saints mandatory minicamp. "I've got a lot of tread on my tires, and I want to rewrite my story personally."
