Sullivan indicated there are no active trade talks and that conversations in recent days have been positive and trending in the right direction. “Things are going good. We’ve had some positive conversations over the last couple days. Trending in the right direction,” he said, adding that Achane is “very important to what we’re doing.”
Achane produced standout numbers last season, leading the NFL with 5.7 yards per carry and rushing for 1,350 yards. He also contributed 67 receptions for 488 receiving yards and totaled 12 touchdowns, underscoring his value as both a runner and receiver.
The Dolphins’ roster turnover under new management has fueled speculation about potential deals, but Sullivan framed Achane as a core piece rather than a trade target. The ongoing discussions have not altered the team’s stance on keeping him.
This offseason has included notable changes, with the Dolphins reportedly releasing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill and trading wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Despite those moves, the club remains clear that Achane is not on the trade block and will continue to shape its plans around him.
