According to numerous reports from respected National Football League insiders, the Miami Dolphins are working to hire their new general manager this morning — Jon-Eric Sullivan, previously of the Green Bay Packers.
Sullivan was reportedly Miami’s number one choice all along, and is now in position to succeed longtime Dolphins GM Chris Grier (and interim GM Champ Kelly) as the the franchise’s new decision maker in regards to team personnel.
The 40-year-old rising executive had been with Green Bay since 2003 where he began his career as a scouting intern. Over the past two decades, Sullivan has worked his way up the ladder — eventually taking over as vice president of player personnel in 2022.
Sullivan’s father, Jerry Sullivan, has ties to Miami — as he was the team’s wide receiver’s coach in 2004.
The Dolphins now turn their full attention towards hiring a new head coach to lead the team after the recent firing of former head coach Mike McDaniel. While Sullivan reportedly would not be former Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh’s preferred general manager choice — that would be Chad Alexander who he worked with for many seasons in Baltimore — Sullivan is highly regarded within league circles and shouldn’t preclude the team from interviewing the highly sought after former Super Bowl winning coach.
