Vikings Acquire RB Cam Akers in Trade with Texans

With the status of Aaron Jones unknown for the immediate future, the Minnesota Vikings made a trade on Tuesday to help shore up their running back room.

The Vikings have made a trade for Cam Akers. Yes, again.

This time, the Vikings are sending a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for Akers and a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick. This is the second time in as many seasons that the Vikings have traded to acquire Akers’ services. Last September, they made exactly the same deal. . .same picks, same year, and everything else.
