Dolphins Take De’Von Achane Off Trade Block, Prioritize New Deal

The pledge signals a rebuild built around a small core of young starters.

Overview

  • GM Jon-Eric Sullivan told reporters Monday at the NFL meeting that there is zero effort to trade Pro Bowl RB De’Von Achane and that an extension is a priority.
  • Sullivan identified Achane, center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks as the three pillars he aims to keep long term through new contracts.
  • The stance follows Miami’s Waddle-to-Denver trade for a 2026 first- and third-rounder plus a fourth-round swap, a move Sullivan said fits a plan to get younger and cheaper.
  • Head coach Jeff Hafley said the team will add wideouts for new QB Malik Willis and noted Miami holds seven selections in the first 100 picks, while outside options like Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks are being linked in reports.
  • ESPN reported urgency to extend Achane as the running back market could shift, and the Dolphins’ broader reset includes Willis’ three-year, $67.5 million deal and an offensive rebuild through the draft.
