Overview
- General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that De'Von Achane is not available for trade and said contract talks are trending in the right direction.
- Achane is entering the final year of his rookie deal and recently skipped voluntary workouts, a leverage point that has added urgency to negotiations.
- Despite parting with stars such as Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, Miami has labeled Achane a roster pillar and expects him to anchor an offense now led by head coach Jeff Hafley with Malik Willis at quarterback.
- Teams that checked on Achane, including the Seahawks, Giants and Vikings, are expected to pivot to other options after Miami shut the door on trade inquiries.
- Achane’s 2025 season — 1,350 rushing yards, an NFL-best 5.7 yards per carry, plus 67 catches for 488 yards — underscores why Miami is prioritizing a new deal.
