Overview
- General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, speaking Wednesday at his pre-draft session, said Achane is not available for trade and described recent contract talks as positive and trending in the right direction.
- Teams called after Miami moved on from several stars, but Sullivan has told suitors no as he positions Achane as central to the club’s plans.
- Achane is entering the final year of his rookie deal and skipped voluntary workouts this month, which adds pressure to reach terms on a new contract.
- Miami has limited short‑term cap room at about $1.9 million, with more flexibility expected after June 1 when Bradley Chubb’s release frees funds to fit an Achane extension and the rookie class.
- The Pro Bowl back ran for 1,350 yards with an NFL‑best 5.7 yards per carry and caught 67 passes in 2025, and the Dolphins view him as a key partner for new starting quarterback Malik Willis.
