The Associated Press Jon-Eric Sullivan

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Jon-Eric Sullivan is finalizing a deal to join the Dolphins as their general manager, making the former Green Bay Packers executive the first key piece in Miami’s organizational reboot, a person with knowledge of the hiring told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not made an announcement.

Sullivan, the Packers’ vice president of player personnel, completed an in-person interview this week with the Dolphins, who were expected to move swiftly in hiring a new general manager after parting ways with longtime GM Chris Grier during the season.

ESPN first reported the deal.

Sullivan spent 22 seasons with Green Bay Packers, beginning as a scouting intern in 2003 before earning a full-time position with the team’s football operations department in 2004. In 2022, he was named vice president of player personnel, with the Packers making the playoffs in three of the last four seasons. Green Bay is currently set to face Chicago on Saturday in a wild-card game.

He is the son of Jerry Sullivan, a longtime NFL and college coach who was Miami’s receivers coach in 2004.

Ravens’ interviews

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Baltimore Ravens interviewed former Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski and Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak for their head-coaching vacancy on Friday.

The Ravens fired John Harbaugh earlier in the week after 18 seasons at the helm. They interviewed two Denver assistants — Vance Joseph and Davis Webb — on Thursday.

Stefanski was fired by the Browns after six seasons as coach. The 43-year-old Stefanski has won two Coach of the Year awards and guided Cleveland to its first postseason victory in over a quarter-century.

This is Kubiak’s first season as offensive coordinator for the Seahawks, who have a first-round bye this week.
