The Miami Dolphins are set to hire Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as their new general manager, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.
Sullivan will replace Chris Grier, who was fired by the Dolphins in October after serving in that role since 2016.
The reports of the hiring come one day after Miami fired fourth-year head coach Mike McDaniel following a 7-10 season.
Sullivan has been with the Packers for the past two decades in a variety of scouting and personnel roles. He spent the last four seasons as the team's VP of player personnel.
The Dolphins brought in Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman to consult during the GM hiring process. He was one of Sullivan's biggest supporters, per The Athletic.
Interim Dolphins general manager Champ Kelly, San Francisco 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams and Los Angeles Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander also were considered candidates for the role in Miami.
In addition to the coaching situation, Sullivan also will need to address the status of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The former first-round pick carries a $56.4 million cap hit in 2026 and cutting him prior to June 1 would result in a $99.2 million dead cap hit next season.
