Dolphins Hire Troy Aikman as Consultant for GM Search

The Miami Dolphins have enlisted Hall of Fame QB Troy Aikman as a temporary consultant to aid in their search for a new general manager following the departure of Chris Grier. Aikman, lacking front-office experience, will advise the team until they secure a new GM, differentiating his role from Tom Brady’s involvement with the Raiders due to Aikman’s lack of ownership stake. The new GM will collaborate with owner Stephen Ross to determine the futures of head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, both facing scrutiny after disappointing seasons. Tagovailoa’s struggles included 15 interceptions, leading to his benching, while McDaniel has a contract through 2028, despite missing the playoffs in consecutive years.
