The Miami Dolphins roster looks much different from what it did at the end of the regular season.
Tua Tagovailoa, Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill were all released, and Jaylen Waddle was traded to the Denver Broncos. After the Waddle trade, many predicted that running back De’Von Achane would be the next one dealt, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
On Monday, the Dolphins’ new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan stated they have no plans to trade Achane right now.
“There is zero effort on my end to move Achane,” Sullivan said during the NFL Annual League Meeting in Arizona.
Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan shut down trade rumors regarding De’Von Achane today, saying signing the running back to an extension is a “priority” for the team in the coming weeks/months:

“There is zero effort on my end to move Achane.”
Achane is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and he broke out with 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025. He was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently reported that the Dolphins told inquiring teams that they don’t plan to move Achane, and now it comes directly from the mouth of the new GM in Miami.
Moving on from Achane would make the Dolphins’ offense even more depleted. They did sign quarterback Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million deal in free agency, and it seems that the QB-RB duo is known in Miami, at least for 2026.
