In 2023, Cam Akers will have a base salary of $1,451,777.

Cam Akers Contract

The Los Angeles Rams running back was drafted as the 52nd overall pick in the 2020 draft. He signed a four-year contract worth $6,173,035 and a $2,049,480 signing bonus.

Cam Akers Cap Hit

The 24-year-old will carry a cap hit of $1,964,147 in 2023.

Cam Akers Potential Extension

Akers started the season off on the wrong foot. The Rams almost traded him in October, citing “disagreements” with the organization and head coach Sean McVay.

Now entering the final year of his rookie contract, the Florida State alum is back in good graces with the organization. However, will it be enough for an extension? Compared to other players on the market, Akers comes at a relatively low price tag. They wouldn’t have to break the bank to keep him on the payroll, which is always good for a team that historically teeters close to the salary cap. For these reasons, the Rams would be wise to keep him around for at least another year.
