BREAKING NEWS: Miami Dolphins Legend Dan Marino Returns as Co-Owner

In a monumental announcement that has electrified fans across the nation, the Miami Dolphins have officially welcomed back a franchise icon. Dan Marino, the legendary Hall of Fame quarterback and longtime face of the Dolphins, is returning to the organization — this time as a co-owner.

The stunning development was confirmed earlier today by the Stephen M. Ross family, the current principal owners of the team. In a joint statement, the Ross family revealed that Marino will become a minority co-owner and strategic advisor, ushering in a new era of leadership and legacy for one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.

“Dan Marino is more than just a football legend — he’s the heart and soul of Miami Dolphins football,” said Stephen Ross. “We’re honored to bring him back in an official capacity, not just as a symbol of our past, but as a driving force for our future.”

Marino, who played for the Dolphins from 1983 to 1999, holds nearly every major passing record in franchise history and remains one of the most beloved figures in South Florida sports. After his retirement, Marino spent several years in the team’s front office and has remained a vocal supporter of the Dolphins and the NFL at large.

Now, as a co-owner, Marino will have an active voice in football operations, player development, and community engagement.

“This is a dream come true,” said Marino. “The Dolphins have always been my team, and I’m beyond proud to be part of building the next championship chapter. I’m here to win — just like I always was.”

The announcement comes amid a period of renewed hope for the Dolphins, with a talented young roster, a visionary coaching staff, and an energized fan base. Marino’s return is widely seen as a galvanizing move, bridging the team’s storied past with its promising future.
