In a monumental development for the franchise, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross has officially announced that legendary quarterback Dan Marino is returning to the organization — this time as a co-owner.
Marino, who spent 17 iconic seasons with the Dolphins and is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, now steps into a leadership role that will see him shape the future of the team both on and off the field.
“Dan has always been the heart and soul of this franchise,” said Ross in a press release. “His return as co-owner is not only symbolic but strategic — bringing his championship mindset, experience, and deep connection to our fanbase into the next era of Dolphins football.”
Marino, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005, expressed both humility and excitement at his new role:
“The Dolphins have always been my family. To come back in this capacity and help guide the team’s future is an honor beyond words.”
This historic move comes at a time of renewed ambition within the Dolphins organization, signaling a bold new chapter fueled by legacy, loyalty, and leadership. Further details on Marino’s ownership role and responsibilities are expected in the coming days.
