The Miami Dolphins have shaken up their roster big time this off season, trading away stars like Jalen Waddle, Tuatago Veloa, Tyree Kill, and Bradley Chubb. But they're drawing a line with running back Devon Ashain, seeing him as a key piece for the future alongside New Quarterback Malik Willis. Who? Signed a 3-year, $67.5 million deal. New general manager John Eric Sullivan and first-year head coach Jeff Halfley love a chanes' explosiveness. The 24-year-old third-round pick from 2023 averages 6.1 yards per touch when healthy. Last season stood out with Ashain leading the league at 5.7 yards per carry. He rushed for 1,350 yards, totaled 1,838 from scrimmage, scored 12 touchdowns, and earned his first pro-bowl nod.

1:00Now in his third year, a con is up for an extension as he heads into the final season of his rookie deal. In 2026, he's due $5.76 million in base pay with a $6 million cap hit. Attract sees him landing a 3-year, $36.7 million pack at $12.3 million per year. That said, recent running back deals like Kenneth Walker III's, $3.45 million contract with the chiefs could push Ashain a higher. Meanwhile, the dolphin set 30 second in cap space, $8.2 million over the limit so they might need moves before locking him up, long term.
