Dolphins offensive weapon identified as their most underpaid player
The Miami Dolphins have more than half of their players on one-year deals, but who's considered the most underpaid player on the roster?
The Miami Dolphins have completely overhauled their roster this offseason with so many players leaving in free agency or through trades that made way for several newcomers in the first year under new head coach Jeff Hafley. While they've been able to add many players on inexpensive, one-year contracts this offseason, Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon believes that running back De'Von Achane is still the most underpaid player on Miami's roster. "The 2023 third-round pick earned a Pro Bowl nod with a league-best 5.
7 yards-per-attempt average in his third season, and he'll cost the team just $6. 0 million against the cap as his rookie contract expires in 2026," Gagnon wrote. " Achane, 24, has rushed for 3,057 yards and 22 touchdowns on 5.
6 yards per carry and has also caught 172 passes for an additional 1,277 yards and 13 scores in his three seasons in the NFL. After moving on from Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Jaylen Waddle this offseason, the Dolphins don't have many players that could be seen as franchise cornerstones to build around. However, Achane is one of them.
Miami should be doing everything in their power to extend Achane this offseason before they have to franchise him next year or let him hit the open market and risk losing him for nothing more than a 2028 compensatory draft pick.
