Dolphins Enter New Era with Hafley, Sullivan and a Roster Full of New Faces
Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley rebuild Miami with 10 new scouts and executives, while the Dolphins face major questions on defense and offense.
- General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley have initiated an organizational reset, replacing former general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins roster now features newcomers at nearly every position.
- Departures of core players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle forced a significant transition. The franchise is now relying on newcomers to fill major gaps across the roster.
- Running back De'Von Achane rushed for 1,350 yards last season and serves as the offensive centerpiece. Former Packers backup Malik Willis takes over as starter behind a rebuilt offensive line.
- Hafley emphasizes building a culture of physicality and discipline despite prediction markets forecasting only four or five wins for 2026. The new regime remains committed to establishing that foundation regardless of early-season outcomes.
- The New York Jets and New England Patriots present crucial AFC East tests that will determine whether Sullivan and Hafley's vision translates to wins. These matchups, particularly in Week 7 and late November, will shape the franchise's trajectory.
