Dolphins to Hire Packers Executive Jon‑Eric Sullivan as General Manager

The longtime Green Bay personnel chief now takes charge of Miami’s coaching search following Mike McDaniel’s ouster.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Miami has finalized or is finalizing a deal with Sullivan after his in‑person interview this week.
  • He replaces Chris Grier, who was dismissed in October, as the Dolphins move to reset their front office structure.
  • Sullivan has spent more than two decades with the Packers and has served as vice president of player personnel since 2022.
  • His immediate mandate includes naming a head coach and evaluating Tua Tagovailoa’s future, with reports noting a $56.4 million 2026 cap hit and about $99 million in pre–June 1 dead money if released.
  • Reporting points to candidates with Sullivan ties for the coaching vacancy — Jeff Hafley, Mike McCarthy, Adam Stenavich and Anthony Campanile — and suggests this hire lessens the likelihood of a John Harbaugh pairing in Miami.
