Commanders, Vikings, and Seahawks Guard Against Dolphins' Potential Assault
A new Miami Dolphins trade rumor cancels out the idea that the Washington Commanders, Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings could trade for their star running back.
Dolphins trade rumor amounts to bad news for Commanders, Vikings and Seahawks originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Three teams that clearly still need to add to their running backs rooms this offseason are the Washington Commanders , Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks .
After losing Kenneth Walker in free agency , the Seahawks are lacking a true starter at the position. The closest thing the Seahawks have to one on their roster is Zach Charbonnet and he may not be ready for the start of the season. In Washington, the Commanders have made a few additions to their backfield group, but there isn't a sure starter among them with guys like Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jerome Ford, Rachaad White and Jeremy McNichols under contract.
As for the Vikings, they're set to rely on a 31-year-old Aaron Jones who is coming off an injury-plagued season, and backing him up is the one-dimensional Jordan Mason. Minnesota needs more, plain and simple. After the blockbuster Jaylen Waddle trade between the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos on Tuesday, it was speculated that perhaps the Dolphins would be open to trading running back De'Von Achane, too.
The Vikings, Commanders and Seahawks no doubt would have had interest if that were the case, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Miami is not willing to trade Achane. "Sources: Teams that have called the Miami Dolphins to inquire about trading for Pro-Bowl RB De’Von Achane have been told that he is not available," Schefter reported. It's understandable why Miami wants to hold on to Achane.
