After yet another ugly loss in a season that has been filled with them, the Miami Dolphins have finally made a change. Just days before the 2025 NFL trade deadline, reports have emerged that Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier met with the team this morning and “mutually agreed to part ways”. It marks the first major domino of future of change for the Dolphins.
Grier, who has been the team’s general manager by title since 2016 and held full control of the football operation since 2019, was primarily responsible for the team’s 2019 rebuilding effort.

Grier has served as a part of the Dolphins’ organization for the last 26 years. He’s been a frequent target of angst from the fanbase amid his overlap with much of Miami’s organizational struggles throughout the course of the last quarter century. Miami, of course, has not won a playoff game in 25 years. 2025 will not be the year either. And after an offseason of realignment, the product on the field has finally dipped low enough for the Dolphins to facilitate a change.
Chris Grier’s legacy with the Miami Dolphins
- Served as general manager from 2016-2025
- Finishes career with 77-80 record
- No playoff wins
Grier’s legacy in Miami will be a frustrating one. His final record as the team’s general manager will be 77-80 — nearly a perfectly balanced average of .500 that so well embodies too many Dolphins seasons over the last two decades. With this first major domino to fall, the Dolphins have finally sent the organization a clear message: there are indeed consequences for performance.
And owner Stephen Ross has to be hoping the rest of his organization will start taking notice and acting like it in the weeks ahead. It’s time to assess every ounce of this football operation — because whoever comes in next is going to have their hands full and a vision to fulfill. Players and coaches who remain now need to do their best to show they deserve to be a part of it.
