Giants Valued At $10.8 Billion For Divestment

Back in March, revelations that Giants co-owner Steve Tisch had been heavily mentioned in the files connected to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein led the team’s family ownership to make a request to the NFL’s finance committee to transfer their ownership stakes into separate trusts to benefit each co-owners’ respective children. In preparation for this potential divestment of equity, the franchise was valued at $10.8 billion, according to Mike Ozanian of CNBC.

The reported amount underlines the recent breaching of NFL franchise values into 11 figures. After a $4.65 billion sale of the Broncos in 2022 and a $6.05 billion sale of the Commanders in 2023, prices have skyrocketed for NFL ownership is just a few years. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross reportedly rejected a $10 billion offer to sell the Dolphins in 2024, but he did get a valuation of $12.5 billion in the process of selling a 10-percent total stake in the franchise later that year.

A consistent increase following the Denver and Washington deals would put a proper valuation in 2026 at about $10.25 billion, landing New York’s value just above that range. According to Darryl Slater of NJ.com, the three Tisch siblings started with a 45-percent stake in the team, but after previously transferring portions of their ownership stake to their children in 2023 and 2024, their remaining untransferred equity combines to a 23.1-percent ownership stake with an approximate value of $2.5 billion.

Back when the valuation occurred in March, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk noted that the surrendering of Tisch’s team equity wasn’t ending his tenure with the team, reporting that Tisch would “continue to serve as chairman of the franchise’s board of directors.” Florio went on to observe that the NFL seemingly decided that Tisch’s divestment solved their problem of whether or not to investigate the matter, but Tisch’s remaining presence with the team still poses an issue.

Tisch’s involvement hasn’t quite been as removed as just the chairman of the board, though. As John Fennelly of Giants Wire reported, Tisch was seen front and center in the Giants’ draft room throughout the 2026 NFL Draft. While his ownership stakes have continued to move safely to his children, ensuring the value stays within his family, his involvement with the team has continued as usual with no hint of NFL involvement in sight.
