De\u2019Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">The contract: One more year for about $5.9 million<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">The buzz: The league seems to believe the Dolphins are in a full rebuild, which means they\u2019re getting calls on all of their star players. My sense is that they\u2019re far more likely to extend Achane\u2019s contract than to listen to those trade offers, but in their situation, you answer the phone when it rings. So, call any Achane trade a significant long shot that would take an awfully enticing package to get done. &#8212; Graziano<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">The tape: The Dolphins valued Achane highly at the trade deadline, and they will likely do so again. The 24-year-old running back has game-breaking speed, high-volume receiving ability and much better toughness and tackle-breaking skills than his slight frame might suggest. He\u2019s a better &#8212; and younger &#8212; talent than anyone in the loaded free agent RB market. Achane ran for 1,350 yards and eight scores last season, and his 5.7 yards per carry ranked first in the NFL. &#8212; Solak<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Predicted chance of getting traded: 10%<br \/>Potential team fits: Chiefs, Texans, Vikings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2.
