"The Miami Dolphins' next general manager is Jon-Eric Sullivan of the Green Bay Packers. The Dolphins went through a quick search to find the franchise's next GM, finalizing a deal with Sullivan, according to multiple reports, on Friday, five days after he and a slew of others were originally revealed as the candidates for the job in charge of roster and personnel decisions in Miami."
"Sullivan, 50, considered one of the rising front-office minds in the NFL, has held his current title in Green Bay since 2022. From 2018 through 2021, he was co-director of player personnel. Prior to that, he scouted the Southeast and Central Plains regions over eight years as a scout for the Packers. He started out as a scouting intern in Green Bay in 2003."
"The Dolphins' hire succeeds ex-GM Chris Grier, who held the role since 2016 and was fired Oct. 31 in the middle of a disappointing Dolphins season. Miami then put Kelly into the interim position. It's been a busy week for the Dolphins, since the end of the season last Sunday in New England. Miami fired its coach, Mike McDaniel, on Thursday, as it was prioritizing its ongoing GM search."
Jon-Eric Sullivan was hired as the Miami Dolphins' general manager after a brief search and will oversee roster and personnel decisions. Sullivan beat out interim GM Champ Kelly, Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander and 49ers director Josh Williams. Sullivan has served as the Packers' vice president of player personnel since 2022 and was co-director of player personnel from 2018 through 2021; he scouted the Southeast and Central Plains for eight years and began as a scouting intern in 2003. Miami prioritized candidates with strong scouting backgrounds. Sullivan is the son of longtime coach Jerry Sullivan and will participate in the team’s coach search.
