The Dolphins give this contract to Achane at a time when many teams are going away from paying RBs the big bucks.
Miami has gone in the opposite direction, choosing not to trade Achane away and instead invest in him.
His well-rounded skillset makes him as much of a three-down back as there is in the NFL, as capable as a pass catcher as he is as a rusher.
