The Miami Dolphins have secured running back De'Von Achane with a four-year contract extension valued at $64 million, which includes $32 million guaranteed. This deal makes Achane the third-highest-paid running back in the NFL, reflecting his critical role in the team's future plans. Achane, who rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards in 2025, has been a standout player since entering the league in 2023, leading all qualified running backs with an impressive 5.6 yards per carry. His versatility as a pass catcher is also notable, with 172 receptions and 13 receiving touchdowns in his first three seasons. The Dolphins have emphasized the importance of Achane in their long-term vision, particularly as they have traded or released several core players to focus on youth and cost-effectiveness. The team is now looking to extend contracts for other key players, including center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Achane's extension was first reported by NFL journalist Jordan Schultz.
