Incidentally, Brady's Bills offense just faced Campanile's Jacksonville defense in a playoff game Sunday. Brady, an alumnus of Everglades High in Miramar, has held that role with the Bills full-time for the past two seasons, building off his success when he took over the job in the interim upon the firing of Ken Dorsey, former Miami Hurricanes national championship-winning quarterback, during the 2023 season.

MIAMI GARDENS - I hope Dolphins owner Stephen Ross asked new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan one question during his interview: "What did you think of this franchise's 2023 season?" Sullivan, whose hiring isn't yet official, needs to have said, "It was a huge disappointment, and a borderline failure." If Ross heard anything else he should have kicked Sullivan out of his office and informed him that such a participation-trophy mentality isn't welcome to the new-era Miami Dolphins.

The Miami Dolphins are finalizing a deal to hire Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as their general manager, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday. Sullivan joined the Dolphins after working for the Packers since 2003, starting as a scouting intern. He has served as Green Bay's vice president of player personnel since 2022, working closely with general manager Brian Gutekunst for a team that has reached the playoffs six of the past seven seasons.

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver has been requested to interview for the Ravens' head coaching vacancy created by firing Harbaugh Tuesday night, according to an NFL Network report Wednesday. Weaver has significant ties to the Ravens. He was drafted by them out of Notre Dame in 2002, playing his first four seasons with the franchise. He returned to coach in Baltimore as an assistant from 2021 through 2023.

Almost everyone would agree it was a failed season for the Miami Dolphins. That's now two consecutive years in which that's been the case. The Dolphins (7-10) were one game worse this season than they were in the 2024 season as coach Mike McDaniel (35-33 regular season, 35-35 overall) posted the worst record of his four-year era. As an indication of how badly things went, consider that during the season the Dolphins fired their general manager (Chris Grier) and demoted their quarterback ( Tua Tagovailoa).

The Miami Dolphins signed six players to reserve/future contracts Tuesday: wide receiver AJ Henning, defensive tackle Alex Huntley, outside linebacker Derrick McLendon linebacker K.C. Ossai and offensive linemen Josh Priebe and Kion Smith. Futures contracts allow the team to immediately bring back players following the end to their season and before the start of the new league year, securing their rights for next season without affecting the current year's salary cap.

Before each game, Furones and Perkins will select a "Best Bet" and a "Longshot." The "Best Bet" selection is a near 50-50 proposition while the "Longshot" is at least +300 or a 3-to-1 probability. They don't place dollar amounts on their bets, but you're welcome to wager as much as you can afford. Furones is 9-7 on his "Best Bets" while Perk is 3-13. On the "Longshot," Furones is 5-11 and Perk has slumped to 3-13.

Barrow was with UM for the 2024 season, earning All-ACC First-Team honors, recording 30 tackles (13 solo), eight for loss, 5 1/2 sacks and one forced fumble in 13 games and 12 starts. He transferred to the Hurricanes from Michigan State, where he had 110 tackles, 10 1/2 sacks, 18 1/2 tackles for loss, one pass defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery, along with two blocked field goals in 34 games and 30 starts from 2020 through 2023.

Zach Charbonnet ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks turned two third-quarter Carolina turnovers into TDs to beat the Panthers 27-10 on Sunday and close in on the No 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Sam Darnold threw an interception in the end zone but finished 18 of 27 for 147 yards with a touchdown for the Seahawks, who can wrap up the NFC West title and the top seed if the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams both lose or tie. Jaxson Smith-Njigba added nine catches for 72 yards as Seattle (13-3) won their sixth straight.

You'd always want Lamar Jackson on your team, because he's a three-time Most Valuable Player and one of the top quarterbacks in a league built around quarterbacks. But there's no chance Baltimore trades him despite the rumors. And you'd surely want Fernando Mendoza or Dante Moore as your quarterback, because they're the hot college quarterbacks in the NFL draft that starts inching into view now.

The Miami Dolphins announced a series of roster moves Saturday that ends the season for three players and brings up several other players from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Dolphins placed wide receiver Dee Eskridge, cornerback Isaiah Johnson and defensive tackle Benito Jones on injured reserve. In addition to being out for Sunday's game, none of the three will return for the finale at the New England Patriots. Johnson tore an ACL in a knee in Thursday's practice, according to coach Mike McDaniel on Friday. Jones has a back injury, and Eskridge suffered a toe ailment in last Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

I feel like it's always great to have the opportunity to play a different position, especially a position that Minkah was able to play, which is a very versatile chess piece in our defense. Having the ability and the respect from the coaches to be able to go out there and do it, that's the joy itself. It was a challenge throughout the week, but I feel like I handled it.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there was another or two," coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday. "There are several guys that are up for consideration, but I'm really looking forward to this practice." "These games, as you end the season, are the lasting impression you have," McDaniel said. "There's some battles on the practice field, and that means we have a competitive practice squad that we have some extra roster possibilities if they choose to seize the opportunity."

To me, that's "go" time.
