NFL Rumors: 'Murmurs' Dolphins, Colts May Fire GMs Chris Grier, Chris Ballard in 2025

Could the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins make a change at general manager this offseason?

It's a possibility. Albert Breer of SI.com reported Monday that "there have been at least murmurs of front-office shuffling in Indianapolis and Miami."

In Indianapolis, Chris Ballard has served in the position since 2017, with the Colts posting four winning seasons and two playoff berths in that time. He was unexpectedly saddled with a quarterback issue in 2019 after Andrew Luck shockingly retired, and it's questionable if he's ever truly addressed the need outside of Philip Rivers' one-year cameo in 2020.

Anthony Richardson is raw and undeniably talented, but he's also completed an abysmal 50.6 percent of his passes during his two-year career.

As for coaches, Ballard inherited Chuck Pagano before hiring Frank Reich in 2018 and Shane Steichen in 2023.

In Miami, Chris Grier has served as general manager since 2016, with five winning seasons (potentially six) and three playoff berths (potentially four), depending on how Week 18 unfolds.

He's brought a number of talented players to Miami such as Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey and the Mike McDaniel hiring has proven fruitful, though Grier and the organization hitched their wagon to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has had success when healthy but has had significant injury concerns.

The 2024 season has been a bigger overall disappointment in Miami than Indianapolis, as the Dolphins are built to win now. Injuries have undoubtedly played a role in a mediocre campaign, however.
