Dolphins Restructure De'Von Achane’s Contract, Rebuff Trade Inquiries

The cap-focused tweak adds void years, pushing costs forward to underscore Miami’s intent to keep its Pro Bowl runner unless a blockbuster offer materializes.

Overview

  • Miami added four void years to Achane’s deal and converted much of his pay into a signing bonus, pushing about $3.6 million into future years, according to the Miami Herald and Pro Football Talk.
  • General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said he will take calls on any player but emphasized Achane is in the team’s plans, with extension talks expected later in the summer.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that teams inquiring about Achane were told he is not available for trade.
  • The Vikings and Seahawks were cited by NFL Trade Rumors as possible suitors, with proposals ranging from a Jordan AddisonAaron Jones package to Seattle’s No. 32 pick, though reporting suggests Miami would seek more.
  • Analysts advising Seattle urged passing on a deal due to the likely price and a projected three-year, $36.7 million market value for Achane, who is coming off a 1,838-yard Pro Bowl season.
