Dolphins GM: Achane is NOT for trade!

New Dolphins General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has affirmed that running back De'Von Achane is not on the trade block. Sullivan stated that while no player is truly untouchable, there is "zero effort" from his end to move Achane, whom he considers a difference-maker and a crucial part of the Dolphins' future. The team is actively engaged in discussions to extend Achane's contract, deeming it a priority. Achane earned a Pro Bowl selection during the 2025 season, leading the league with 5.7 yards per carry and accumulating 1,350 rushing yards with eight touchdowns.

Sullivan drew comparisons between Achane and former NFL running back Warrick Dunn due to their similar playing styles and the number they wear. He highlighted Achane's exceptional feet, acceleration, and ability to contribute on all three downs, including as a pass-catcher. The general manager acknowledged durability as a potential long-term question but expressed confidence in Achane's abilities. Since being drafted in 2023, Achane has rushed for 3,057 yards and 22 touchdowns, while also catching 172 passes for 1,277 yards and 13 touchdowns.
