NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that New York Giants chairman Steve Tisch is no longer co-owner of the club and has not committed any violations that are subject to the league's personal conduct policy.

Tisch was named 440 times in U.S. Department of Justice documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which was released on January 30, 2026. Tisch, his sister Laurie and brother Jonathan subsequently planned to transfer ownership to their children's trusts. Those transfers have been approved by the NFL.

However, the three siblings have retained their front office roles with the Giants. On the team's website, Steve, 76, is currently listed as EVP and the chairman of the board, Laurie as the board director and Jonathan as treasurer and board director.

'As we said (prior to Super Bowl LX), we were going to follow the facts,' Goodell said earlier this week at the league meetings in Phoenix. 'We have been doing that. We've been very focused on making sure we understand everything that's out there. We've engaged with others to make sure we have that information.

'As you know, the Tisch family also made some family changes. Steve and Jon and Laurie actually did some transactions as part of their estate planning. They're no longer owners. But we have not found anything that's a violation at this stage.'

The Tisch family bought a 50% stake in the Giants' franchise from the Mara family in 1991.
