Sullivan faces the task of evaluating the Dolphins’ quarterback situation, particularly after Tua Tagovailoa, who led the NFL in passing yards in 2023, struggled in 2025 and was benched. Sullivan has emphasized the importance of having a reliable quarterback to win games, and his previous success in scouting Jordan Love for the Packers makes him a promising choice for this critical role. The Dolphins are looking for a quarterback who can lead them to success moving forward. 🔍
In his first official move as general manager, Sullivan signed safety Omar Brown to a reserve/future contract. Brown, who spent the 2024 season on the Packers’ practice squad and missed the 2025 season due to injury, brings familiarity to Sullivan. This type of contract allows the Dolphins to secure Brown’s rights for the next season without affecting the current salary cap, which is crucial as the team navigates a depleted secondary with several defensive backs set to become free agents. 🛡️
As Sullivan begins his tenure, the Dolphins are also in the process of finding their 15th head coach, with 11 candidates currently in consideration. Their top target, John Harbaugh, has signed with the New York Giants, prompting Miami to explore other options. Additionally, the Dolphins are expected to seek a new starting quarterback ahead of the 2026 season, especially after the recent coaching changes. 📋
With the No. 11 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, Sullivan has significant decisions ahead to address the team’s needs and improve their roster. His first signing of Omar Brown marks the beginning of his efforts to revitalize the Dolphins and steer the franchise toward a more successful future. The challenges are substantial, but Sullivan is determined to make impactful changes. 🌟
