Roger Goodell: Steve Tisch, siblings 'no longer' New York Giants owners
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says they have no found any violations relating to Steve Tisch, who is "no longer" an owner of the New York Giants.
The NFL currently does not intend to take disciplinary action against former New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch for his involvement with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. “We have not found anything that’s a violation at this stage," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters during his press conference at the Annual League Meeting in Phoenix on Tuesday. Tisch has been the Giants' chairman and co-owner (along with his family) of a 50 percent stake (now 45) since his father, Robert Tisch, passed away in the fall of 2005.
The family recently announced they were transferring all of their interest in the team to a trust for their children. That transaction, which was up for approval during the meetings this week, has apparently been approved. Goodell announced the Tisches were no longer owners of the Giants, although Steve Tisch is still listed as the Giants' chairman .
Roger Goodell says Steve Tisch (and his siblings) are “no longer owners” after transferring their stake in the Giants to their children. There will be no personal conduct policy issues. — Tom Rock (@TomRock_Newsday) March 31, 2026 The league had vowed to "look into" the affair, but it is believed to be a dead issue after the Tisches decided to relinquish their stake in the ownership group.
That transaction took a ton of pressure off Goodell and the NFL, as they would like nothing more than to push any association with Epstein to the back burner. Tisch is not in Phoenix this week and has not been around the team or its business since the news broke about his association with Epstein earlier this year. He released a statement on January 30 acknowledging the relationship.
