Dolphins Restructured Achane and Brewer in Order to Trade Waddle
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins created cap space to trade Jaylen Waddle by restructuring the contracts of Aaron Brewer and De’Von Achane, allowing them to execute the trade despite Waddle’s contract complexities.
- Both restructurings do not impact the Dolphins’ ability to offer contract extensions to Brewer and Achane, with extensions expected this summer as the team shifts focus to the NFL Draft.
- Miami currently has about $2 million in salary cap space but will gain over $20 million by June 2nd after Bradley Chubb’s Post-June 1st release takes effect, providing funds for rookies and free agents.
- De’Von Achane had a breakout 2025 season, earning his first Pro Bowl with 1,350 rushing
