Dolphins expected to hire Jon-Eric Sullivan as new general manager

Our Summary

The Miami Dolphins have appointed Jon-Eric Sullivan, former Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel, as their new general manager. This change comes after the team parted ways with Chris Grier in October, who had been in charge of roster building since 2016. Sullivan's primary challenges will include addressing the quarterback situation involving Tua Tagovailoa and navigating significant salary cap issues. This decision follows the recent firing of head coach Mike McDaniel, who had initially been expected to participate in the selection of Grier's successor. Sullivan, regarded as a promising talent in scouting, advanced through various roles with the Packers since 2003. With the GM position filled, the Dolphins' next step is to hire a new head coach, with several candidates linked to Sullivan, including Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley and former Packers coach Mike McCarthy.
