New general manager for the Miami Dolphins \u2014 Jon-Eric Sullivan \u2014 has been very clear this offseason about his intention to keep running back De\u2019Von Achane in an aqua and orange uniform for the foreseeable future. On Wednesday night, he made good on those intentions \u2014 inking the 24-year-old ball-carrier to a new contract that will tie Achane to the Dolphins for an additional four seasons.<\/p>\n
According to ESPN\u2019s Marcel Louis Jacques, Achane and the team agreed to terms on a 4-year, $64 million extension ($16 million per year), with bonuses that could push the deal up to $17 million per season if certain conditions are met. The deal now makes Achane the third highest paid running back in the National Football League in terms of yearly salary \u2014 sitting behind only Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles ($20.6 million per year) and Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers ($19 million per year) according to Over the Cap<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since joining the organization as a third-round draft pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Achane has been one of the most explosive dual-threat playmakers in the National Football League. He has amassed 3,057 yards rushing on 544 attempts (5.6 yards per carry) and 22 rushing scores. His yards per carry average is the highest in NFL history. Achane has also caught 172 passes for 1,277 yards and 13 receiving touchdowns during his three years in Miami.<\/p>\n Achane is now signed with the Dolphins through the 2030 season. He will be 29-years-old when his contract expires \u2014 giving Miami the running back\u2019s prime years as a professional.<\/p>\n EDIT: Adam Schefter of ESPN has confirmed that $32 million of Achane\u2019s new contract is guaranteed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New general manager for the Miami Dolphins \u2014 Jon-Eric Sullivan \u2014 has been very clear this offseason about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,2797,125,124],"class_list":["post-270189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins-news","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
