Analyst: Dolphins Should've Traded De'Von Achane
25 May
Summary
- An analyst suggested trading De'Von Achane for a second-round pick.
- The Dolphins extended Achane for four years and $68 million.
- Concerns exist about Miami's passing attack limiting Achane's impact.
ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell has proposed that the Miami Dolphins missed an opportunity this offseason by not trading running back De'Von Achane. Barnwell suggested that Achane could have been traded for a second-round draft pick, allowing the team to find a similar player later in the draft.
Concerns were raised about Achane's future impact due to the Dolphins' expected limited passing attack and potential workload sharing with Malik Willis. Despite these reservations, Miami has committed to Achane with a four-year, $68 million contract extension.
Barnwell noted that the Dolphins acted strategically by finalizing Achane's deal before other high-profile running backs like Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs sign their own extensions, which likely would have increased Achane's market value.
