It\u2019s only been four days since the Miami Dolphins announced that former Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan was going to be Miami\u2019s next general manager<\/a>. Already, though, you\u2019re seeing him bringing in people with Packers ties to the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Tuesday, it was announced that Miami has signed safety Omar Brown<\/a>, a former Packer, to a reserve\/futures deal. Brown is probably best remembered for his Family Night performance this summer, when he recorded three interceptions. Brown was a ballhawk throughout training camp before being carted off the field against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 of the preseason with a collapsed lung.<\/p>\n

The Packers eventually placed Brown on the injured reserve and waived him with an injury settlement. He was brought back on a workout to Green Bay during the season, but wasn\u2019t signed to the team. It\u2019s possible that Green Bay was interested in signing him on a reserve\/futures contract after the 2025 season, as the Dolphins did. Reserve\/futures deals are essentially league-minimum contracts that generally go to practice squad players, but they can also be used on outside practice squadders or street free agents, like Brown. Green Bay has signed 17 players to reserve\/future deals<\/a> since their loss against the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n

Brown also played two regular-season games for the Packers in 2024.<\/p>\n

Beyond the player level, it was revealed after Green Bay\u2019s season that pro scout Venzell Boulware, one of the team\u2019s three pro scouts, would no longer be with the team in 2026<\/a>. Now, reporting claims that Boulware, a former Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman, will be joining Sullivan with the Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether the team moved on from Boulware or whether the Packers allowed Boulware to move on from Green Bay for a promotion elsewhere. Boulware\u2019s title with Miami has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n

Sullivan, who has been with the Packers since 2003, obviously has deep ties with the team that he just left. Two of the earliest moves he\u2019s made as general manager of the Dolphins have been to bring in pieces of Green Bay to Miami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s only been four days since the Miami Dolphins announced that former Green Bay Packers vice president of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2049],"tags":[217,7,41,345,392,95805,216,251,2972,2087,6,46571,98310],"class_list":{"0":"post-675173","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-dolphins","8":"tag-dolphins","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-green-bay","11":"tag-green-bay-packers","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-jon-eric-sullivan","14":"tag-miami","15":"tag-miami-dolphins","16":"tag-miami-hurricanes","17":"tag-miamidolphins","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-omar-brown","20":"tag-venzell-boulware"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115890433830453147","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
