De’Von Achane is not available in trade talks.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, teams have recently called the Dolphins to inquire about trading for Achane and have been told the star running back is not available.
The Dolphins have completely overhauled their roster under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, either trading away or outright releasing the majority of their veteran core from the last few seasons.
But Achane, who is entering the final season of his four-year rookie deal with Miami, and is part of the Dolphins’ future under their new leadership.
Sullivan was asked at the NFL scouting combine about a possible extension for Achane.
“I mean, he’s a marvelous player,” Sullivan said at the time. “We want him to be part of this thing moving forward. … We will have those conversations with him as well as some other guys as we move down the road, but that’s going to be later in the summer.”
So far this offseason, the Dolphins have traded Minkah Fitzpatrick, released Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and their latest move being traded Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos for a package of draft picks.
Achane, 24, is expected to be the centerpiece of Miami’s new-look offense under first-year coordinator Bobby Slowik. After releasing Tua last week, the Dolphins replaced him with the free agent signing Malik Willis.
Achane rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns last season, averaging a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry. He also was a key part of the Dolphins’ passing game, finishing with 67 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns.
