Steve Tisch and his siblings Laurie and Jonathan Tisch want to transfer their share of the New York Giants collection to trusts set up for their children.
ESPN has obtained an NFL memo that provides some details about the Tisch family’s request. The transfer would require the approval of the NFL’s finance committee before it could be finalized, according to the memo.
If approved, the move would dissolve the Tisch brothers’ ownership stake, with the memo saying they would “no longer have any interest” in the Giants.
“Previous transfers to these Trusts were completed following Finance Committee approvals for 2023 and 2024,” the memo said. “The Sellers now propose to transfer all remaining interests, including 23.1% of the Club, to the Trusts. … Following the transaction, the Sellers will no longer own any interest in the Club.”

A request from Fox News Digital to the Giants for comment was not immediately returned. A team spokesperson told ESPN he had “nothing to add.”

It is unclear whether the extradition requests were in any way related to Steve Tisch’s name appearing in the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice in January. Steve Tisch’s name appeared more than 400 times in the files. Tisch at the time said he knew Epstein but refused to visit Epstein’s island.

“We had a brief meeting where we exchanged emails about older women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investing,” Steve Tisch said in a Jan. 31. “I didn’t take him up on any of his invitations and I didn’t go to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”
Federal authorities arrested Epstein in 2019 on sex trafficking charges. Tisch has never faced criminal charges, though his future status with the franchise is uncertain.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in February that the league would look into Tisch’s relationship with Epstein.
“We’re definitely going to look at all the facts,” Goodell said at a news conference in San Jose, California, during Super Bowl week. “We’ll look at the context of those and try to understand that. We’ll look at how that falls under the league’s (conduct) policy. I think we’ll take it one step at a time. Let’s get the facts first.”

The Tisch family has shared ownership of the Giants since 1991 with the Mara family, which founded the franchise in 1925. John Mara serves as president and CEO of the Giants. Despite revealing his cancer diagnosis in September 2025, Mara is still active with the team, playing a key role in the hiring of head coach John Harbaugh.
And in September, the Koch family acquired a non-controlling interest of 10% in the group.
