Just 1 Hour After Being Cut by the Seahawks, the Super Bowl Champion “Cornerstone” Reveals Desire to Join the Colts — Rejecting Multiple Big-Money Offers Just to Chase a Second Ring in Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Indiana – The NFL was stunned on Thursday when the Seattle Seahawks unexpectedly released Cam Akers. But the real shock came one hour later, when the Super Bowl–winning running back made his intentions unmistakably clear: he wants to join the Indianapolis Colts, even if it means serving as Jonathan Taylor’s backup.

Akers — once a foundational piece in the Los Angeles Rams’ championship run — instantly became one of the most intriguing names on the free-agent market. Several teams reportedly reached out with sizable contract offers, pitching him opportunities for a larger role and a bigger payday.

But Akers turned them all down.

According to league sources, he has only one goal left: winning a second Super Bowl ring, and he believes the Colts give him the best chance to do it.

When asked why he would choose a team where the starting job is already locked in by a superstar like Jonathan Taylor, Akers delivered a message that set Colts Nation ablaze:

“I’ve been through the toughest roads this league can throw at you, and it taught me one thing — championships are what last forever. If the Colts need someone willing to sacrifice a role, attention or even bigger contracts to help them get back where they belong, I’ll do it without a moment’s hesitation.”

It was the kind of quote that hits a franchise at its core: humility, hunger, and a willingness to put the team above personal glory.

Indianapolis has quietly been searching for a dependable RB2 who can both complement Taylor and bring playoff-tested leadership to a roster pushing hard for the postseason. Akers fits that mold perfectly. His explosive one-cut style matches the Colts’ offensive scheme, and his championship experience brings a stabilizing presence to a young locker room.

And while some questioned why Akers would willingly accept a smaller role, those close to him say it’s simple: he wants another Lombardi Trophy more than he wants touches or headlines.

For the Colts — a team fighting for playoff positioning and trying to build a sustainable contender — Akers could be one of the most impactful “low-risk, high-upside” additions of the season.

If Indianapolis does finalize the move, it won’t just be adding depth to the running back room.
It will be adding a champion who chose the Colts not for money, not for spotlight —
but for a second shot at football immortality.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' glitzy steakhouse rocked by lawsuit claiming partners siphoned millions and 'extorted' lawyer as he battled blood cancer
Kansas City, Missouri – January 2026 Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes’ trendy Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime, has found itself at the center of a controversy after a lawsuit alleged that its business partners, Tosh Berman and Michael Tanha, siphoned millions of dollars from the company and “extorted” their legal counsel during a critical time when the attorney was fighting blood cancer. The lawsuit, filed by Matthew Syken, the former general counsel of the restaurant’s parent company Noble 33, claims that Berman and Tanha engaged in fraudulent activity while Syken was on medical leave for cancer treatment. According to Syken, the two allegedly misappropriated funds from a deal with a gift card company, inKind, which had paid Noble 33 millions in advance for store credits redeemable at their chain of restaurants. Syken claims that after he uncovered the financial irregularities and confronted Berman and Tanha, they retaliated by withholding his pay, firing him, and canceling his medical insurance during his recovery. He further accuses them of threatening his legal career in an attempt to silence him, adding to the emotional and financial strain he was already facing. “I had no choice but to speak up. I’ve been through enough, and I thought it was my responsibility to make sure Noble 33 was operating fairly. To be fired in such a cruel manner, especially while fighting cancer, is something I’ll never forget. The truth needs to come out,” Syken stated. Kelce and Mahomes, both of whom have had stakes in 1587 Prime, have not been named as defendants in the lawsuit, and sources close to the two superstars say they were unaware of the alleged misconduct. Despite the controversy, Kelce and Mahomes have continued to promote the restaurant as a high-end destination for fans and celebrities alike. The lawsuit, which has gained significant media attention, claims that Berman and Tanha used the inKind gift card deal to generate upfront cash that was allegedly funneled into their private accounts, while Syken’s attempts to uncover the scheme were met with hostility. Berman and Tanha have denied all wrongdoing, accusing Syken of embezzling funds himself, but the lawsuit continues to unfold as the legal battle intensifies. With a history of Super Bowl victories and major endorsements, both Kelce and Mahomes now find themselves linked to a serious legal battle that threatens the future of their restaurant venture. As the case progresses, many are wondering whether 1587 Prime can withstand the controversy and whether the public image of the two stars will be affected by the ongoing legal issues.
