Dolphins GM: Achane is NOT for trade!
16 Apr
Summary
- Dolphins GM confirmed De'Von Achane is not available for trade.
- Minnesota Vikings were reportedly interested in Achane.
- Dolphins have significantly overhauled their roster this offseason.
Miami Dolphins General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan announced on Wednesday that running back De'Von Achane is not on the trade market. He confirmed that conversations have been positive regarding Achane's future with the team. Sullivan emphasized Achane's critical role in the Dolphins' plans. This statement effectively ends speculation that the Vikings might acquire Achane, especially given his former offensive coordinator, Frank Smith, now works for Minnesota.
The Dolphins have been undergoing a substantial roster purge this offseason, releasing 35 players. This extensive change led to rumors about Achane's potential departure. However, Sullivan's clear declaration solidifies Achane's position with the team for the upcoming season. The Vikings, facing the advanced age of their current running backs and potential free agency departures, were seen as a theoretical landing spot if Achane became available.
With Achane staying in Miami, the Vikings are now expected to address their running back needs through the upcoming NFL draft or explore other trade possibilities. Minnesota holds nine draft picks for the event.
