Dolphins Part With GM Chris Grier as Champ Kelly Takes Over on Interim Basis

The decision follows a 2-7 start just days before the NFL trade deadline.

Overview

  • Miami announced a contract rescission with Chris Grier on Friday, ending his 10-year run as general manager after a 28-6 loss in Baltimore dropped the team to 2-7.
  • Owner Stephen Ross said the change could not wait and pledged better on-field results and stronger roster construction.
  • Senior personnel executive Champ Kelly was named interim general manager for the remainder of the season as the club launches a search for a permanent hire.
  • ESPN reported that head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to remain in his role through the rest of the season.
  • Grier's tenure delivered five winning seasons and three playoff berths but no postseason wins, and the move lands just before the Nov. 4 trade deadline that compresses decisions on possible roster moves.
