The Miami Dolphins and running back De’Von Achane agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $64 million, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday, keeping the Pro Bowler in South Florida through the 2030 season.
The deal includes $32 million guaranteed, and the $16 million average annual value makes Achane the third-highest-paid running back in the NFL. Bonuses could push the total value to $68 million.
It marks the first major extension under general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, who called Achane a “pillar” of what the Dolphins are looking to build moving forward.
“He’s dynamic. I mean, there’s plays that you’re not even blocked right for and he gets 6 or 7 yards,” Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said in March. “His vision, his acceleration, the way he can catch the ball out of the backfield, he’s so hard to defend. I’m glad [Sullivan] said that.”
Achane rushed for a career-high 1,350 yards in 2025 and was named to his first Pro Bowl. Since entering the league in 2023, he leads all qualified running backs with 5.6 yards per carry and is tied with Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor for the second-most rushes of at least 50 yards.
