Dolphins RB De'Von Achane Trade Rumors Swirl
8 Mar
Summary
- De'Von Achane might be traded by the Dolphins this offseason.
- Trade could cost a first-round pick and an $18M+ annual extension.
- Denver Broncos are seen as the most likely landing spot.
As the Miami Dolphins enter a rebuilding phase, there is speculation that no player is off-limits, including standout running back De'Von Achane. Despite his youth and recent impressive performance, reports indicate a trade is on the table.
NFL analyst Chad Forbes suggests that the league expects Achane to be traded this offseason. Forbes identified the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, and Denver Broncos as potential suitors. He also noted that acquiring Achane would be costly, requiring a first-round pick and an annual extension of at least $18 million.
While the Texans recently traded for David Montgomery, making them a less likely option, the Chargers have already invested heavily in a running back. The Denver Broncos emerge as the most logical fit, with their current backfield situation and the potential for Achane to form an explosive partnership with RJ Harvey.
Achane has demonstrated his ability to be a game-changer over the past two seasons, but the NFL's current devaluation of running backs might make a first-round pick acquisition challenging for Miami.
