Dolphins pick Sullivan as new GM: His philosophy on building
Miami Herald••general
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins have selected Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as their new general manager to rebuild a team currently $23 million over the salary cap with key needs, including quarterback.
- Sullivan, 50, brings 22 years of experience with the Packers and is highly regarded for his talent evaluation skills, emphasizing building through the draft and supplementing with free agency rather than groupthink or overreliance on analytics.
- The Packers must grant written permission for Sullivan to start immediately due to their playoff status; otherwise, he will join the Dolphins after Green Bay’s postseason ends.
- With Sullivan hired, the Dolphins will now focus on hiring a head coach, showing interest in candidates like former Ravens coach John Harbaugh
