The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $68 million contract extension Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Achane was headed into the final year of his rookie deal, and new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley had been adamant that the talented running back is a building block of the future in Miami, even after the Dolphins shed salary this offseason. Achane's new deal will pay him $17 million per year in new money, making him the league's third-highest-paid running back behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Achane started all 16 regular-season games in which he appeared last season, totaling a career-high 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdown on 238 carries, averaging a league-high 5.8 yards per carry. He added 67 catches for 488 yards and four additional touchdowns on 85 targets in the passing game. Achane is still just 24 years old and figures to be a top-12 fantasy pick this season.

Dolphins Injury Report
The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $68 million contract extension Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Achane was headed into the final year of his rookie deal, and new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley had been adamant that the talented running back is a building block of the future in Miami, even after the Dolphins shed salary this offseason. Achane's new deal will pay him $17 million per year in new money, making him the league's third-highest-paid running back behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Achane started all 16 regular-season games in which he appeared last season, totaling a career-high 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdown on 238 carries, averaging a league-high 5.8 yards per carry. He added 67 catches for 488 yards and four additional touchdowns on 85 targets in the passing game. Achane is still just 24 years old and figures to be a top-12 fantasy pick this season.
The Dolphins placed Moss on the reserve/retired list Tuesday. Moss' short NFL career has come to an end, as he'd had just joined the team as an undrafted free agent last month. He spent his collegiate career at Texas A&M, carrying the ball 321 times for 1,767 yards and 22 touchdowns across four seasons with the Aggies.
The Dolphins signed McCulley as an undrafted free agent Friday. McCulley played at Indiana for four years and started 15 games before transferring to Michigan in 2025. The wide receiver produced 588 yards and three touchdowns on 39 catches over 13 starts for the Wolverines. The Dolphins drafted three wide receivers this year and have acquired a wealth of depth to fill the room, so surviving training camp will be quite the challenge for McCulley.
The Dolphins signed Gronowski as an undrafted free agent Friday. Gronowski was the South Dakota State starting quarterback for four years before transferring to Iowa in 2025. Through 13 games as a Hawkeye, Gronowski completed 166 of 262 pass attempts (63.0 percent) for 1,741 yards and 10 touchdowns along with seven interceptions. The 24-year-old also added 130 carries for 545 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns during his final season. Gronowski will compete with Quinn Ewers (knee) and Cam Miller throughout training camp for the No. 2 role behind Malik Willis.
General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said Wednesday that Proctor will start his NFL career at the left guard position, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Sullivan said that Proctor will train at both tackle and guard, but to begin the season, 2025 second-rounder Jonah Savaiinaea will go to right guard to make room for Proctor at left guard. He won't turn 21 until June, and despite his otherwise massive stature, his 33-inch arms are short by tackle standards, so it makes decent sense that Miami won't task him with protecting recent signing Malik Willis' blindside right off the bat.
Wease will have plenty of competition in the wide receiver room during training camp, as the Dolphins added three receivers in the 2026 Draft, Matt Sullivan of sportingnews.com reports. Wease played substantial snaps at wide receiver for the Dolphins' last three contests of the 2025 season. He caught six of his 10 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown over the three-game span. The team drafted Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell (ACL) in the third round of the 2026 draft, as well as Kevin Coleman in the fifth round. With all three new receivers set to compete throughout the preseason, Wease may have to show out to remain on the roster.
Tolbert is facing added competition for snaps, routes and targets after the Dolphins selected three rookie wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft, Matt Sullivan of The Sporting News reports. Miami's main free-agent additions to the wide receiver corps after trading Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos and cutting Tyreek Hill (ACL) were Tolbert and Tutu Atwell, who joined incumbent 2024 sixth-round pick Malik Washington atop a wide open depth chart. Those veterans being joined by rookie third-round picks Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell (ACL), as well as fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman, now muddles the breakdown of available targets, especially in what seems like a run-first offense headlined by RB De'Von Achane and new dual-threat QB Malik Willis. Tolbert still figures to get every opportunity to compete for a starting role this offseason, but he and Atwell signed just one-year prove-it deals with Miami, so the team has greater incentive to develop Douglas, Bell and Coleman.
Washington (thumb) is facing increased competition for targets and snaps after Miami selected three rookie wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft, Julio Vasquez of USA Today reports. Washington remains a major beneficiary of the Dolphins' decision to trade Jaylen Waddle to Denver and cut Tyreek Hill (ACL) this offseason, with an argument to be made that he stands as the No. 1 WR for new QB Malik Willis even after Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell were signed in free agency. Miami adding two third-round rookie wideouts in Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell (ACL), plus Kevin Coleman in the fifth round, doesn't necessarily knock Washington out of the mix for the top spot, but the 2024 sixth-rounder is now facing significantly more competition for targets in what may be a run-first offense led by RB De'Von Achane and Willis' dual-threat abilities. Washington posted 427 total yards on offense and four TDs while also thriving in the return game last season, and he's presumably recovered from the thumb injury he sustained Week 18.
