Dolphins’ Chris Grier is one of three general managers not scheduled to speak at Scouting Combine

General managers for the Bears, Cowboys, and Dolphins aren’t expected to meet with the press.

329 NFL Draft prospects step into the spotlight next week at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. With representatives from every franchise headed to Indianapolis in preparation for the draft, the week-long event also serves as a chance to kick-start trade discussions and hear from teams one final time before free agency begins next month.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel will speak with the media at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. However, Chris Grier is one of three general managers currently unscheduled to speak in Indianapolis, joining Ryan Poles (Chicago Bears) and Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys).

Grier hasn’t spoken publicly since the team’s end-of-season press conference on Jan. 7.

“We had expectations created by the excitement of the last couple years and we had hoped to continue it and for various circumstances, didn’t happen this year and it was unacceptable,” Grier said. “No one is happy and we will get this fixed.”

General managers aren’t going up to the podium at the combine to spill draft strategy or free agency plans, and schedules can always change. That said, it would be interesting to see if Grier’s perspective has changed with time to reflect on a disappointing 2024 campaign.
