The\u00a0Miami Dolphins<\/a>\u00a0began their offseason workout program on April 7, but there was one major omission as De\u2019Von Achane wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0Moreover, with so much change surrounding the Dolphins, there\u2019s been no shortage of trade speculation surrounding the running back.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, with the 2026 NFL<\/a> Draft approaching on April 23, this speculation won\u2019t be going away. As a result, the Miami Herald\u2019s Omar Kelly shared the latest regarding Achane\u2019s future in South Florida.<\/p>\n \u201cTailback De\u2019Von Achane, inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson, and center Aaron Brewer are all entering the final season of their contract, and therefore seek extensions,\u201d Kelly wrote in his April 12 column<\/a>. \u201cThe Dolphins are aware, and have discussed it with each. But no deals are close, sources say.<\/p>\n \u201cBuffalo\u2019s James Cook, a tailback that\u2019s comparable to Achane in style and production, received the most recent lucrative extension for a tailback, landing a five-year deal that\u2019s slated to pay him $51.6 million, and featured $30 million in guaranteed money. Achane likely won\u2019t accept a dollar less, with the goal of becoming the 12th tailback who makes at least $11 million a season.\u201d<\/p>\n Last season with the Dolphins,\u00a0Achane earned an overall PFF grade of 89.2<\/a>, ranking first among 55 qualified running backs. His 91.0 rushing grade also led the group.<\/p>\n Furthermore, he carried the ball 238 times for 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 5.7 yards per attempt. Achane forced 49 missed tackles and averaged 4.1 yards after contact per carry, showing his effectiveness between the tackles. As a receiver, he caught 67 of 85 targets for 488 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n Dolphins Could Listen to Offers on De\u2019Von Achane<\/p>\n Moreover, Kelly noted that the Dolphins would be willing to listen to offers, given that the team likely doesn\u2019t want to lose any players as free agents and not receive draft picks to help their rebuild. <\/p>\n \u201cIn Miami\u2019s predraft conversations teams in need of a game changing tailback, a playmaking inside linebacker, and an athletic zone blocking center will likely get serious about trying to acquire Miami\u2019s top veterans, saving them from the Dolphins\u2019 lastest rebuild,\u201d Kelly added. \u201cClearly finances will come into play, which is why Sullivan and Hafley must listen to offers.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s clear Miami\u2019s roster is being rebuilt, becoming younger and cheaper, and even though Sullivan claims Achane, Brooks and Brewer are foundational pieces the Dolphins hope to build around, proof of this will come from the contracts offered in the next two weeks. The Dolphins must decide if they would prefer a draft pick over these proven, but soon to be expensive NFL players.\u201d<\/p>\n Channing Crowder Gets Blunt About De\u2019Von Achane\u2019s Future<\/p>\n With Achane\u2019s future with the Dolphins uncertain, at least for now, WQAM\u2019s Channing Crowder gave a blunt take regarding the running back\u2019s situation and whether he\u2019ll be staying in Miami.<\/p>\n \u201c[Achane] will not touch the field in Miami Gardens until he has more money in his bank account,\u201d\u00a0Crowder said in an April 8 video from WQAM<\/a>. \u201cThis is his hit. This is the time he has to hit somebody in the head. He\u2019s a poker player. [Achane can] go out there at OTAs and tear [his] knee up.<\/p>\n \u201cNow y\u2019all take [his] money down to $5 million a year, and not $20 million a year? No, he\u2019s not coming without a contract. I\u2019ve been saying that the entire offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
