Dolphins Extend De'Von Achane While He Rehabs Shoulder Surgery

The deal locks Achane in as Miami’s offensive centerpiece and has the team adding short-term backfield depth as coaches limit his practice work.

Overview

  • The Dolphins signed Achane to a multi-year extension worth roughly $64 million that positions him as a central piece of the offense.
  • Head coach Jeff Hafley said Achane had offseason shoulder surgery and is rehabbing, so he is doing limited drills at OTAs and not taking part in full team work.
  • Achane has said he expects to carry a heavier workload for Miami once he is fully healthy and the team plans to lean on him as a primary offensive weapon.
  • Miami has added depth in response to short-term availability risk, bringing in Carlos Washington Jr. and working out free agent Zamir White as the club evaluates running back options.
  • Achane’s breakout 2025 season — 1,350 rushing yards, a 5.7 yards-per-carry league lead, 67 catches and his first Pro Bowl — explains the investment and shapes how the new coaching and GM regime plans to build around him and a new quarterback.
