The Minnesota Vikings re-signing Cam Akers seemed to be a done deal, but at the 11th hour Akers changed course, signing with the Houston Texans on July 22, per the NFL transaction wire.
A July 2 transaction on ESPN’s league transaction wire showed Akers was set to re-sign with the Vikings pending he passes his physical. KSTP’s Darren Wolfson confirmed that to be the case a week later.
In a reply on X (formerly Twitter), Wolfson said that Akers never followed through with the physical, instead opting to sign with the Texans after a workout last week.
“He’s been practicing with Houston, is a Texan,” Wolfson said. “Never got to that physical point here, even though a couple people close to him had a feeling it would.”
