Running back De\u2019Von Achane signed a four-year contract extension with the Dolphins this month, but he\u2019s not taking the long view when it comes to the Dolphins turning into a winning team. <\/p>\n

The Dolphins have made a coaching change, parted ways with several veterans, traded wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and taken a major cap hit by releasing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa since the end of the 2025 season. That\u2019s led to many dire predictions about the team\u2019s chances this fall, but Achane told former teammate Terron Armstead on The Set podcast that he doesn\u2019t see things the same way. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to hear<\/a> \u2018we rebuilding for two years,\u2019\u201d Achane said. \u201cI ain\u2019t trying to do it. Most definitely, I want to win the division, we gotta win the playoff game. I ain\u2019t even going to say we\u2019re going be trying to win the championship, but we just got to get those things first.\u201d<\/p>\n

The extension and the offseason changes have pushed Achane into a veteran leadership role heading into his fourth season and he\u2019d like to be leading his team to a better than expected record once that season is underway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Running back De\u2019Von Achane signed a four-year contract extension with the Dolphins this month, but he\u2019s not taking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667637,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-667636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
