The widely speculated split from Tua Tagovailoa. An abrupt course correction with moving on from Mike McDaniel. The hiring of Jon-Eric Sullivan &amp; Jeff Hafley. A surprising blockbuster trade of Jaylen Waddle. But there have been other, more subtle changes at play, too. And we just got a trio of additional notable changes for the Dolphins\u2019 front office. <\/p>\n<p>Miami Dolphins move on from executive Champ Kelly, two scouts after 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2261\" height=\"1523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_27545356_168410861_lowres.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315829\"\/>Nov 9, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins interim general manager Champ Kelly before a game against the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium.Jeff Romance-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Miami Dolphins\u2019 former interim general manager, Champ Kelly, has once again seen an interim role lead to a post-draft split. Kelly was the man who took the reins from Chris Grier midseason, helping to lead Miami through the trade deadline and ultimately secure a 3rd-round draft choice for pass rusher Jaelan Phillips. Kelly interviewed for the full-time post but upon the hiring of Jon-Eric Sullivan, Kelly reverted back to the role of a \u2018senior personnel executive\u2019. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jjones9\/status\/2049612687781331443\" rel=\"nofollow\">Per CBS Sports\u2019 Jonathan Jones<\/a>, Kelly is out with Miami. <\/p>\n<p>But he\u2019s not the only scouting departure for the Miami Dolphins. Per <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/InsideTheLeague\" rel=\"nofollow\">Neil Stratton of \u2018Inside the League\u2019,<\/a> Miami parted ways with two scouts this week. Andy Howell and JP Correia are reportedly out as well. This is commonplace for front office hirings; usually scouting staff changes happen after the NFL Draft so that a fresh scouting cycle can be undertaken with new scouts in place. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Howell and Correia both had significant tenures in Miami. Howell was with the team for a decade, while Correia is credited with 8 seasons in Miami. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamidolphins.com\/team\/front-office-roster\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Both were listed on the team directory as pro scouts<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Miami\u2019s already made one hire to the pro scouting staff; it was reported months ago that Venzel Boulware would be joining the Dolphins\u2019 staff from Green Bay. Boulware is a former Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman. He\u2019s now Sullivan\u2019s hand-picked pro scout in the front office. <\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s probably safe to assume that more change is on the way. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3200\" height=\"2134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_27419036.jpg\" class=\"attachment-768 size-768\" alt=\"Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby (2) throws a pass in the first quarter of a NCAA men\u2019s football game between the Cincinnati Bearcats and Baylor Bears, Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati.\" loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"object-position:49% 16%\"\/>\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"query-card__category is-style-eyebrow\">Miami Dolphins News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL Draft is in the books, and the Miami Dolphins are now making some more behind-the-scenes changes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1250,102342,123,1763,2797,125,124],"class_list":["post-252509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-dolphins","tag-dolphins-news","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-miami-dolphins-news","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
