Dolphins Slam the Door on De'Von Achane Trade Talk
Here's the news Seattle and the rest of the NFL needed to hear: De'Von Achane is not going anywhere. The Miami Dolphins have made it crystal clear to every team that has called about trading for the dynamic running back that he's off the table. Case closed.
Achane is Miami's Guy Going Forward
The Dolphins just shipped Jaylen Waddle to Denver in exchange for Denver's first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and that move apparently opened the floodgates for trade inquiries about Achane. But Miami's new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan isn't budging. He called Achane "a marvelous player" at the NFL Scouting Combine in February and made it clear the team views the 24-year-old as a cornerstone piece to build around for new quarterback Malik Willis.
Sullivan also said the Dolphins will consider extending Achane this offseason as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. That's not the language of a team shopping their guy.
The Stats Back Up Miami's Conviction
And honestly, you can't blame the Dolphins for holding firm. Achane put together a monster 2025 season, racking up 1,838 yards from scrimmage across all 16 regular season games. He also punched in 12 total touchdowns while handling 305 touches, which ranked ninth in the entire league. This despite his undersized frame, which makes his production even more impressive.
The guy has proven he's one of the most versatile and efficient running backs in the NFL. He catches it, he runs it, he does it all. Miami knows what they have.
Don't Expect the Calls to Stop
Still, expect the phone to keep ringing. Achane's name is going to stay hot around the league as teams scout potential trade targets. But the Dolphins have sent the message loud and clear: Achane is their future, not your problem.
