Dolphins Dismiss Assistant GM Marvin Allen in Ongoing Front-Office Reset

The move continues a purge of Chris Grier’s lieutenants under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.

Overview

  • Allen’s exit was reported by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini and confirmed by the Sun Sentinel, and his name was removed from the team website Tuesday.
  • He had served as assistant GM since 2019 under former GM Chris Grier, spanning the rebuild that included drafting Tua Tagovailoa in 2020.
  • Allen becomes the third Grier-era personnel leader dismissed, following co-directors of player personnel Adam Engroff and Anthony Hunt.
  • New GM Jon-Eric Sullivan is steering the restructuring as Miami conducts a head-coach search after firing Mike McDaniel last week.
  • Owner Steve Ross wants to rebuild the scouting department, and it remains unclear who is directing that effort with the draft approaching.
