Miami Dolphins Keep Running Back De’Von Achane Off Trading Block

Despite major roster changes this offseason, the Miami Dolphins have decided to keep running back De'Von Achane as part of their future plans. The 24-year-old Pro Bowl player rushed for over 1,300 yards last season and will have a key role in Miami's revamped offense.

Miami Dolphins officials have notified interested teams that running back De’Von Achane will not be available for trade, according to an ESPN report released Wednesday.

The franchise has completely restructured its offensive roster during the offseason with new head coach Jeff Hafley and newly appointed general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan at the helm, moving on from established players including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill through trades and releases.

However, the 24-year-old Achane, who will complete his rookie deal this upcoming season, has been exempted from the organizational shake-up, according to the report.

The running back is anticipated to serve as a central figure in Miami’s offense, working with newly acquired quarterback Malik Willis under the guidance of offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.

Selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, Achane achieved personal bests last season with 1,350 rushing yards, ranking fifth league-wide, along with eight rushing touchdowns while earning his inaugural Pro Bowl selection. His 5.7 yards per rushing attempt led all NFL players, and he contributed an additional 67 receptions for 488 receiving yards and four receiving scores across 16 starting appearances.

Throughout his professional career spanning 44 games with 36 starts, Achane has accumulated 4,334 total yards and 35 touchdowns. He has surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark on 10 occasions, with his standout performance coming as a rookie when he gained 203 yards and scored four touchdowns in Miami’s dominant 70-20 victory over Denver.
