"Team owner Stephen Ross announced the decision Friday to mutually part ways with the longtime general manager midway through his 10th season in the role -- roughly 12 hours after the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Hard Rock Stadium dropped their record to 2-7. Just two years ago, at the very same stadium, the Dolphins looked like the NFL's next power when they hung 70 points on the Denver Broncos. But a series of injuries, asset mismanagement and embarrassing on-field results followed."
"Four days out from the NFL trade deadline, Miami is at a critical juncture in what could be another rebuild in South Florida. Will the team hang on to its core players in hopes that the roster is just a few tweaks away from returning to its 2023 form? Or will interim general manager Champ Kelly, who joined the team in March and has no previous attachment to most of the roster, start accumulating draft capital and clearing salary cap space?"
Team owner Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins have mutually parted ways with general manager Chris Grier amid a 2-7 start after a 28-6 loss to the Ravens. A 2023 high-scoring peak gave way to injuries, asset mismanagement and poor results. The team faces the trade deadline with decisions about preserving the current core or pivoting to accumulating draft capital and clearing cap space under interim GM Champ Kelly. Questions loom about coach Mike McDaniel's job security and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's future. Grier led major roster projects since 2019, stripping the roster, stockpiling picks and signing high-end veterans and large contracts.
