Rosters across the NFL shuffle weekly, and the Minnesota Vikings have made their share of moves while trying to navigate a constantly shifting injury landscape<\/a>. Earlier this season, Minnesota brought back a familiar face<\/a> at running back after Aaron Jones was placed on injured reserve<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cam Akers stuck around for a bit, but with Jones returning and Jordan Mason providing depth, the Vikings ultimately moved on.<\/a> Akers then landed in Seattle, but his time there has already come to an end, and he\u2019s departing alongside a former teammate.<\/p>\n Seahawks Waive Akers and Griffin<\/p>\n Akers signed with the Seattle Seahawks just before they faced the Vikings two weeks ago<\/a>. He joined veteran cornerback Shaq Griffin, who reunited with Seattle<\/a> this offseason after spending last year in Minnesota. Both players are now back on the market after the Seahawks waived them on Thursday.<\/p>\n Transactions: \u2014 Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 11, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n Griffin spent the season bouncing between the active roster and practice squad, ultimately appearing in two games and making one start<\/a>. The 30-year-old recorded seven tackles for Seattle in what is now his ninth NFL season.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear whether Griffin intends to continue playing, but he should be able to find a depth role for the stretch run if he chooses. He played all 17 games for the Vikings last season and intercepted two passes.<\/p>\n Akers, meanwhile, has suited up for Minnesota in each of the past three seasons. The Vikings acquired him from the Los Angeles Rams in 2023 and again from the Houston Texans in 2024. This year, he returned to Minnesota after being released by the New Orleans Saints. <\/p>\n Seattle kept Akers for two weeks, though he never appeared in a game. With the Vikings earlier this season, he played in three games and recorded five rushing attempts.<\/p>\n Neither player is a strong candidate to return to Minnesota in 2025. If the Vikings were prioritizing immediate wins, Griffin might make sense as cornerback depth. But at 5-8<\/a>, the focus has shifted to simply getting through the season and building toward the future. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: Cam Akers<\/a> Shaquill Griffin<\/a> <\/p>\n More About: Minnesota Vikings<\/a><\/p>\n Add MinnesotaSportsFan as a preferred source on Google. \t\t\t
