Dolphins RB De’Von Achane Garnered ‘Significant’ Trade Interest

Rapoport adds that the Dolphins wanted a second-round pick for Achane, but a deal never materialized.

One factor cited by Rapoport is that Achane is currently in the final year of his contract and could be in line for a big payday.

Achane, 24, was a one-year starter at Texas A&M and earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2022 for the Aggies. The Dolphins selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. 

He is entering the final year of a four-year, $5,437,449 rookie contract that includes a $954,509 signing bonus and will carry a cap figure of $988,627 in 2023.

In 2025, Achane has appeared in nine games for the Dolphins and rushed 121 times for 606 yards (5 YPC) and three touchdowns.
