Dolphins Part Ways With GM Chris Grier

The Miami Dolphins and general manager Chris Grier mutually agreed to part ways after more than 25 years with the franchise and a 2-7 start to the 2025 season highlighted by a 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Owner Stephen Ross announced the move, thanked Grier for his contributions, and said the change was urgent as the team looks to improve in 2025, 2026 and beyond. Ross named senior personnel executive Champ Kelly as interim GM while the team begins a search for a permanent replacement. Grier departs after roughly a 77-80 record, with multiple winning seasons and three wild-card appearances but no postseason wins. Head coach Mike McDaniel will remain in place through at least the end of the regular season, and the announcement provoked strong fan frustration amid concerns about offensive struggles and organizational stagnation.
