There’s a lot of change happening in Miami, but one familiar star is sticking for the long term.
Running back De’Von Achane agreed to a four-year extension worth up to $68 million to stay with the Dolphins, according to multiple reports. NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Achane will get $32 million guaranteed and is now the NFL ’s third-highest-paid running back at $17 million per season.
Thus ends the rumors of any trades of Achane, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027. Dolphins running back De’Von Achane runs the ball for a touchdown during the first quarter in against the Jets. Miami general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said in April that the 2025 Pro Bowler was not going to be dealt and teams would have to look for their running back needs elsewhere.
“He’s not available for trade,” Sullivan told reporters. “Things are going good — we’ve had some positive conversations over the past couple days, trending in the right direction. He’s obviously very important to what we’re doing … We’ll get to where we need to be, one way or another.
”Ex-Yankee bust's career in jeopardy after brutal injury development Achane, 24, had solid 2023 and ’24 seasons — 1,707 combined rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns — before really breaking out this past season with 1,350 rushing yards on an NFL-best 5.7 yards per attempt. He scored eight times on the ground and four more times through the air in what was his best season production-wise as a pro.
Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane escapes a tackle by New Orleans Saints cornerback Alontae Taylor during the first half of an NFL football game, Nov. 30, 2025, in Miami Gardens, Fla. Miami is looking for better days after a 7-10 finish last season that saw head coach Mike McDaniel get fired andand signed former Green Bay QB Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract, in all likelihood to become the next starter under center.
