Sun Sentinel••sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins have selected Jon-Eric Sullivan, currently the Green Bay Packers’ vice president of player personnel, as their new general manager after a quick search process.
- Sullivan, 50, has over 20 years of experience with the Packers in various scouting and personnel roles and was chosen over other finalists including interim GM Champ Kelly and Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander.
- The Dolphins fired former GM Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel during a disappointing season and plan for Sullivan to lead the search for a new head coach.
- Sullivan inherits a challenging roster situation, notably managing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s large contract, with potential moves including trading or releasing Tagovailoa to create cap space.
- The team holds promising young players
