Miami Dolphins fans are divided on the future of star running back De'Von Achane. While the team has signaled he is not on the trading block, some fans believe the Dolphins should explore trading him for the right price to acquire more draft capital. Others argue the team should keep and extend Achane, who is seen as a core part of the team's future.

Why it matters

Achane's future is a key decision for the Dolphins as they look to rebuild their roster through the draft. Trading a talented young player like Achane could net valuable draft picks, but keeping him could provide stability and production in the backfield. Fans are closely watching how the team handles this decision.

The details

After trading star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, rumors began swirling that Achane could be the next Dolphins player on the trading block. However, the team has stated Achane is not available. Fans are divided on whether the Dolphins should keep Achane long-term with a contract extension or trade him for additional draft capital to aid the rebuild.

  • The Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle last week, sparking speculation about Achane's future.

What they’re saying

“No way Achane is on the day one roster. They either trade him pre-draft, right after the draft, or when a contending team's RB1 tears his ACL in the pre-season.”

“Ofc not!!!!!! If we are trading all of our young assets away for future draft capital and essentially throwing away this season, why the hell would Achane be untouchable??? He an elite talent but if a team offers you a package that is too good to pass up, you have to take it.”

— TuaLuve

What’s next

The Dolphins will have to decide whether to trade Achane before or after the 2026 NFL Draft, depending on if they receive an offer they can't refuse.

The takeaway

The Dolphins face a difficult decision on Achane's future, as keeping the talented young running back could provide stability, but trading him could net valuable draft capital to aid the team's rebuild. Fans are closely watching how the team handles this key personnel decision.
