Analyst Floats Bears Trade for Dolphins RB De'Von Achane to Aid Caleb Williams
The suggested price is Roschon Johnson plus 2026 second- and fourth-round picks, with no indication of active negotiations.
Overview
- Pro Football Network’s Josh Weil proposed that Chicago acquire De'Von Achane from Miami in a speculative trade idea.
- Weil cites Achane’s production over 32 games—1,953 rushing yards, 932 receiving yards and 26 total touchdowns—and a low $1.73 million 2026 cap hit.
- The Bears are 2-2 under Ben Johnson, yet their rushing attack has lagged at 24th in the league with D’Andre Swift averaging 3.3 yards per carry.
- The proposal argues Achane would upgrade Chicago’s backfield to support rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, though the cost in picks and a player is significant.
- Commentary notes Miami could seek draft assets if it retools, but this remains analysis ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline and not a report of talks.
