The Miami Dolphins made waves this week by trading wide receiver Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos.

In return, they picked up a first round draft choice in a third rounder,

along with swapping fourth round picks. Right away fans wondered what that meant for

star running back Dave Oneshani. The dolphins quickly shut down those rumors.

According to an ESPN report, team officials told other clubs that Akane is not on the trade block.

Akane shone bright last season as Miami's only pro bowl pick

and the local media's choice for team MVP. He racked up 1,350 rushing yards,

488 receiving yards, and 12 total touchdowns.

Now heading into the fourth and final year of his rookie deal,

Akane is up for a contract extension.

New General Manager John Eric Sullivan has called him a key building block for the franchise,

and plans to talk long term deal later this off season.

His career rushing average sits at an elite 5.6 yards per carry,

tops among players with at least 500 attempts since the NFL, merger in 1970.

Miami clearly wants to keep him locked in as they rebuild.
