Chris Grier’s long run in Miami has finally come to an end. The former Dolphins GM and the team quietly parted ways, as reported by Adam Schefter. A mutual goodbye after 26 seasons. Grier had been calling the shots since 2016, shaping rosters and rebuilding hopes year after year.

But away from the league, life looks a little simpler. A native of Holliston, Massachusetts, Grier shares it with his wife, Paige Grier. Not just a supportive spouse, Paige brings her own passion for football to the table, quietly standing by through every twist and turn of Chris’s long NFL journey.

Who is Chris Grier’s wife, Paige Grier?
Paige Grier, born in September 1972, is far from just ‘the GM’s wife.’ She’s been a steadfast partner alongside Chris, whose football career started humbly as a New England Patriots intern in the mid-90s before evolving into a key figure with the Dolphins.
Paige keeps a low profile, private and out of the limelight, with no public social media accounts. She’s reported to be a homemaker who loves football almost as much as her husband does, often engaging with team discussions and draft debates, right from their South Florida home.
Chris once revealed that Paige and their kids would often drop by his office, itching to know “who we’re taking” during the drafts, showing her genuine enthusiasm for the game beyond mere spousal duty.

Landon Grier, born October 12, 2001, the elder son, is a defensive back who graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School before heading to the University of South Carolina. Known for his athletic and academic excellence, Landon has earned several honors including SEC Academic Honor Rolls and a Defensive Scout Team Award.
Jackson Grier, the younger brother, followed closely in Landon’s athletic footsteps. Born October 13, 2004, Jackson also graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas, helping his team to a third straight 7A state title before enrolling at Boise State University. His commitment to football continues early in his college career, celebrated at the time by his mother Paige, who was there to cheer him on.
While both sons maintain a focus on school and sports, details about their personal lives remain discreet, much like their mother’s.

Who is Chris Grier’s sibling?
Chris isn’t the only Grier making waves in professional sports. His younger brother, Mike Grier, broke new ground as the NHL’s first Black general manager when he was hired by the San Jose Sharks. Chris has publicly praised Mike’s character and work ethic.
“I am incredibly happy and proud of Mike. The San Jose Sharks organization is getting a man of high character and integrity. He has always been respected on and off the ice by his peers. Mike will bring his work ethic and passion every day to the job. Mike understands the game, with intelligence, experience and knowledge to succeed as a GM,” Chris wrote in a statement.

Coming from a family rooted in strong values and mutual support, both brothers have shown resilience and dedication within their respective sports. Their late father, Bobby Grier, was a renowned football executive himself and a key figure in molding their professional paths. The family dynamic is private but clearly tight-knit, a backbone behind Chris’s long NFL tenure.
How long have Chris and Paige Grier been married?
Chris and Paige have been partners for well over two decades, journeying together through nearly every stage of his NFL career. They reportedly moved to South Florida around 2016, the same period when Chris became the Dolphins’ GM.
Though the specifics of their private life rarely surface, it’s clear Paige’s unwavering support has been instrumental to Chris amid the high-stakes world of NFL management.
Where is the Grier family now after Chris’s Dolphins exit?
Following the recent mutual parting with the Dolphins after a tough 2-7 start in the 2025 season, the Grier family faces new beginnings. The family’s South Florida residence remains the likely base for now, but whispers suggest they might be weighing options within the NFL community or beyond. The Dolphins are expected to owe Chris Grier a significant payout under the terms of his contract following their mutual parting.
As Chris’s future direction remains open, whether in scouting, consulting, or a fresh general manager role, Paige and the boys stand firmly beside him. Their connection to football runs deep. So, this isn’t the last chapter for the Griers in sports.
