Overview
- De’Von Achane, who skipped Tuesday’s first day of Miami’s voluntary workouts, drew a matter-of-fact “part of the business” from coach Jeff Hafley.
- The 24-year-old enters the final season of his rookie deal and is eligible for a raise, with GM Jon-Eric Sullivan calling him a building block and saying an extension is a priority.
- Reports note teams such as the Broncos, Seahawks, Bears and Vikings have inquired or been linked, though ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Miami is not making him available and the GM said he will listen to offers.
- An NBC report said Miami recently guaranteed most of Achane’s 2026 pay and paid a large signing bonus, which makes a trade harder because a buyer would not assume money the Dolphins already paid.
- After a Pro Bowl season with 1,350 rushing yards and an NFL-best 5.7 yards per carry, the next pressure point is June’s mandatory minicamp if talks do not produce a deal during spring OTAs.
