De’Von Achane Gets PAID — A New Era in Dolphins Football?

Author: O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit May 14, 2026 Duration: 1:13:55

The Miami Dolphins made a major statement by locking up star running back De’Von Achane with a new contract extension — and the Fish Tank crew is here to break down what it means for the future of the franchise.

On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit are joined by Chris Perkins, Chad Van Horn, and The Legendary Sevach to react to Miami’s latest move and discuss whether this signals a true shift in philosophy under the team’s new leadership.

The crew dives into:

  • Why the Dolphins prioritized De’Von Achane now
  • What the contract says about the team’s direction
  • The importance of building around young cornerstone players
  • Rookie mini-camp reactions and early impressions of the new regime
  • Why “toughness” and accountability continue to be themes around the organization
  • Malik Willis, the evolving offense, and the pressure on the rebuild

Plus:

  • Another legendary edition of “I Tried To Tell Y’all”
  • Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone
  • The Brightline bankruptcy discussion nobody expected
  • And enough chaos to keep Fish Tank LIVE undefeated in entertainment value


The Dolphins are changing fast — but are they finally changing the right way?
