Dolphins, De'Von Achane Agree to Four-Year Contract Extension
The Miami Dolphins and Pro Bowl running back De'Von Achane agreed to a four-year, $68 million contract extension on Wednesday to make him the third-highest-paid RB (behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey) at $17 million per year with $32 million guaranteed, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley stood by their word this offseason that they weren't looking to trade Achane after cutting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and trading receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Texas A&M gets paid after a breakout 2025 campaign, in which he had a career-best 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 238 carries while adding 67 catches for 488 yards and another four TDs on 85 targets across 16 starts. Despite Miami's lackluster offense, Achane finished as the RB6 in half-PPR scoring last year. The Dolphins' offense could be very inconsistent yet again in Year 1 of their rebuild, but Achane should be a first-round pick in redraft formats for the volume alone, and he's currently RotoBaller's fifth-ranked RB in dynasty leagues.
