The Miami Dolphins have made it clear that running back De'Von Achane is not available for trade, despite teams inquiring about the star player. New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan confirmed Achane will be part of the roster as the Dolphins undergo a massive overhaul, trading veterans like Jaylen Waddle and releasing franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Achane, 24, rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns last season while averaging a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry. He also contributed 67 receptions for 488 yards and four scores, making him the centerpiece of Miami's new-look offense under coordinator Bobby Slowik with Malik Willis now at quarterback.

The Dolphins face significant financial challenges with approximately $175 million in dead money against the salary cap after releasing multiple high-profile players. Despite these constraints, the team's leadership views Achane as integral to their rebuild, with Sullivan expressing plans to discuss a contract extension "later in the summer" as they continue reshaping the roster.
