The Miami Dolphins announced the decision Friday to mutually part ways with longtime general manager Chris Grier. 

The statement came less than 24 hours after the Dolphins suffered a 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. The Dolphins dropped to 2-7 with the loss. 

Grier, 55, has been with the organization since 2000 and served as the team’s general manager since 2016.

Champ Kelly, the Dolphins' senior personnel executive, was named the interim general manager. 

"This morning, I made the decision along with general manager Chris Grier to mutually part ways. I have incredible respect for Chris and his family, and I want to thank him for his many contributions to the Miami Dolphins over the last 26 years," Dolphins managing general partner Stephen M. Ross said in a statement.

"As I assessed the state of the team and in my discussions with Chris, it became clear to both of us that change could not wait. We must improve — in 2025, 2026 and beyond — and it needs to start right now. Champ Kelly will serve as interim general manager effective immediately, and we will begin our search process for a new general manager. I want to thank Champ for stepping up and his commitment to the Dolphins' success this season. There is a lot of football left to play, and we all need to fight even harder."
