The Dolphins were docked a first-round pick in 2023 and a third-rounder in 2024 and owner Stephen Ross was suspended through mid-October and fined $1.5 million for damage to the integrity of the game, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Tuesday. The penalties largely surround the DolphinsÕ flirtation with quarterback Tom Brady Ñ not only before the 2021 season when Brady was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but extending all the way back to the 2019-20 season when he was with the New England Patriots.

Last week, the Dolphins hired Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman as a consultant to assist in their search for a general manager. A league source said Dolphins owner Stephen Ross selected Aikman because of his widespread NFL contacts and a desire to have an outside voice in the search. Dan Marino, an advisor to Ross, also will assist, giving the Dolphins two Hall of Fame quarterbacks helping with the search.
Chris Grier was fired in October after the team's disappointing start to the 2025 season and Champ Kelly has been acting as interim GM in the aftermath.
