Add in his 172 receptions for 1277 yards and 13 touchdowns, and you can see why the 24-year-old running back is expected to cash in \u2014 especially when his best football is still ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Unfortunately for Miami and new General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, Achane isn\u2019t the only star running back expected to get paid this offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Yesterday, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reminded the world that running backs do, in fact, matter, and his belief after talking with those in league circles is that three of the NFL\u2019s top backs will get paid this offseason \u2014 one of them being our sweet prince, Achane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s what Schefter said on Tuesday afternoon:::<\/p>\n<p>NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes De\u2019Von Achane will be one of three STAR running backs to get paid this offseason <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cTake a look at the running backs right now. Bijan Robinson is going to cash in. Jahymr Gibbs is going to cash in. Devon Achane is going to cash in. There are some huge running back deals that get done at some point this offseason. So whereas we\u2019ve already seen one big wide receiver deal, get ready for the parade of running backs. Because that\u2019s what is coming next\u2026..when you can catch like Bijan, Jahmyr, and De\u2019Von Achane, you make yourself more valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Last season, Achane carried the ball a career high 238 times for 1,350 yards and 8 touchdowns. He averaged an insane 5.7 yards per carry, which was the best in the NFL in 2025. Add in the 67 receptions for 488 yards and 4 touchdowns, and there is no debate that Achane deserves to get paid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The only uncertainty isn\u2019t necessarily when he gets paid, but who will pay Achane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Yes, it was just last week that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thephinsider.com\/general\/116701\/devon-achane-not-for-sale-say-dolphins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Schefter mentioned Achane\u2019s availability and that the Dolphins have told teams he was unavailable<\/a> \u2014 but we know the truth! This is the NFL, and there are only a few truly untouchable players. Does Achane fall into that category?<\/p>\n<p>Should the Miami Dolphins trade De\u2019Von Achane?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As of typing this, S<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/player\/market-value\/_\/id\/82376\/devon-achane\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">potrac is projecting Achane to receive around $12-13M per season with a deal falling around 3 years, $37M<\/a>. Is Achane worth that? Absolutely. The question is whether or not a team like the Dolphins \u2014 who are clearly rebuilding and currently in a state of cap hell \u2014 can pay a running back that type of money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Personally, I am a big fan of De\u2019Von Achane. Pre-draft, I referred to him as Alakazam \u2018because he looked like he was teleporting all over the field,\u2019 and in typical fashion, I drafted him in a bunch of fantasy leagues. My love for football stemmed from playing Madden and 2K \u2014 I\u2019m a self-proclaimed fantasy gawd \u2014 so these skill position players mean something to me \u2014 damnit!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He\u2019s our Christian McCaffrey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He\u2019s our Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What does that mean exactly \u2014 I really don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Is it best for the Dolphins to trade him away now, with the running back market about to explode?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Will a team even be willing to offer Sully and the Dolphins what they\u2019re asking for?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Certainly, a team picking late in the draft would rather have Achane than an unproven rookie \u2014 could the Seahawks or Jaguars pry him away from Miami Gardens?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Time will certainly tell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But for now, Achane remains one of Miami\u2019s top playmakers, and regardless of whether it\u2019s in Miami or elsewhere, he\u2019s about to get paid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And no one deserves it more than Himmothy himself, De\u2019Von Achane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What are your thoughts on De\u2019Von Achane?
