Ian Rapoport<\/a>, Achane drew “significant interest,” and “generated as many phone calls as anyone.”<\/p>\nHowever, the Dolphins reportedly set an asking price of a second-round draft pick and more for Achane, which no team was willing to meet since next season marks the final year of his rookie contract.<\/p>\n
Miami parted ways with general manager Chris Grier following a Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, which dropped the Dolphins to 2-7 on the season.<\/p>\n
That paved the way for the Dolphins to potentially have a fire sale at the deadline, but they only ended up making one major move by sending impending free-agent pass-rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 third-round pick.<\/p>\n
There were also rumors and speculation surrounding pass-rusher Bradley Chubb and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, but nothing came to fruition.<\/p>\n
Like Achane, the Dolphins reportedly had a high asking price for Waddle, as they wanted a first-round pick and possibly more.<\/p>\n
With wide receiver Tyreek Hill out for the season with a knee injury and tight end Darren Waller on injured reserve due to a pectoral injury, Achane and Waddle have become the clear focus of the offense.<\/p>\n
Achane, 24, is in the midst of his third NFL season after going in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft.<\/p>\n
The speedster set career highs in several categories last season, including rushing yards (907), total touchdowns (12), receptions (78) and receiving yards (592).<\/p>\n
Achane is enjoying another highly productive season in 2025, rushing for 606 yards and three touchdowns, while catching 43 passes for 274 yards and four scores.<\/p>\n
He is on pace for the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his career and potentially his first Pro Bowl selection as well.<\/p>\n
While the Dolphins would perhaps need to win out in order to reach the playoffs this season, Achane figures to be a major key to their success next season and potentially beyond.<\/p>\n
Achane is not scheduled to become a free agent until after the 2026 campaign, but by keeping him in the fold, it keeps alive the possibility of the two sides agreeing to a long-term extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane was reportedly the subject of multiple trade inquiries leading up to this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-271940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
