Just 1 Hour After Being Cut by the Seahawks, the “Cornerstone” Who Led Rams to a Super Bowl Title Expresses Desire to Return to Seattle – Ready to Restructure Contract Just to Lead Seahawks to Super Bowl Glory

Seattle, Washington – 12/12/2025

The NFL is no stranger to sudden twists, but few unfolded as dramatically as what happened Thursday afternoon in Seattle. Just one hour after being waived by the Seahawks, former Super Bowl–winning running back Cam Akers shocked the league — not with frustration or disappointment, but with a powerful, emotional message: he wants to return to Seattle immediately.

Akers, once considered a foundational piece of the Los Angeles Rams’ championship run, hoped his time in Seattle would reignite his career. But injuries and constant roster shuffling kept him from seeing the field, leading to Thursday’s release. Yet as the Seahawks push toward the playoffs — and possibly a deeper postseason run — Akers’ sudden plea completely changed the conversation.

And his message wasn’t subtle. It was direct, passionate, and unmistakably determined.

“Seattle gave me a chance when most teams didn’t,” Akers said. “If coming back means restructuring my contract or starting from zero, I’m ready. I want to help lead this team to a Super Bowl. I’m not done — and I don’t believe Seattle is done either.”

The statement sent immediate ripples through the Seahawks locker room. Coaches and players have long respected Akers for his professionalism and work ethic, even in a limited role, and his willingness to sacrifice financially for another opportunity speaks volumes at a moment when Seattle is entering the most critical stretch of its season.

Seattle’s decision to waive Akers was strategic — the team needed roster flexibility with several key players preparing to return from injured reserve. But with playoff pressure mounting, head coach Mike Macdonald now faces a compelling question: should the Seahawks bring back a motivated veteran with proven playoff toughness?

Akers’ championship résumé, explosive running style, and experience in high-stakes situations offer qualities Seattle has lacked at times this year. And with the Seahawks sitting at 10–3 and expectations rising, adding a hungry, rejuvenated veteran could shift the team’s momentum at exactly the right moment.

Fans responded instantly, flooding social media with calls to “bring Akers back,” noting his leadership and drive could provide the emotional spark Seattle needs for the final push.

Whether the Seahawks ultimately decide to reunite with Akers remains uncertain. But one truth is undeniable:
Cam Akers may be off the roster —
but his belief in the Seahawks, and his desire to chase a Super Bowl with them, remains stronger than ever.
