De'Von Achane is being treated like a foundational piece for the Dolphins. Here's a look at the contract details for his extension with Miami.

You can't trade them all. The Miami Dolphins roster has undergone major renovations since the 2025 season ended, leaving a group most wouldn't recognize. Tua Tagovailoa , Tyreek Hill , Jaylen Waddle and Bradley Chubb are the headliners of the now-former Dolphins club.

De'Von Achane won't be joining them though. The running back agreed to a four-year extension with the Dolphins, according to multiple reports. Achane's deal is worth $68 million and comes with $32 million guaranteed.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz was the first to report the compensation. Achane is a real game breaker for the Dolphins, creating problems for opposing defenses with an elite combination of speed and explosiveness. Running backs haven't always been valued in the modern NFL, at least when it comes to receiving lucrative contract extensions.

The Dolphins new regime of Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan appeared to prioritize the 24-year-old, making him a key piece for the team going into the future. Perhaps this contract is the latest sign that the market for running backs is starting to shift in the position's favor. Here's what to know about Achane's extension with the Dolphins.
