The Seahawks released running back Cam Akers on Monday.

The move frees up a roster space following a draft in which the Seahawks added eight players, meaning Seattle now has 82 players on their roster not including undrafted rookie free agents, who will sign prior to the start of this week's rookie minicamp.

The Seahawks are allowed to have up to 91 players on their roster with an international player exemption for center Federico Maranges.

Akers, a former second-round pick of the Rams, joined the Seahawks last season and appeared in three regular-season games, as well as Seattle's NFC championship game win over the Rams.

With Akers no longer on the team, the Seahawks currently have six running backs on the roster, returning players Zach Charbonnet, George Holani, Kenny McIntosh, Jacardia Wright; free-agent addition Emanuel Wilson, and first-round pick Jadarian Price.

The Seahawks wrapped up the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday, April 25, 2026. Take a look at all eight draftees.
