Days after Eli Manning's ownership bid, $65,000,000 Giants icon eyes stake in $7,300,000,000 franchise: Report

On Monday, it was reported that New York Giants icon Michael Strahan had legitimate interest in becoming a part-owner of the legendary Giants franchise.

According to Sportico writers Scott Soshnick and Eden Novy-Williams, approximately 10% of the New York Giants is available for purchase as of this time. As a result, it appears Strahan, who has a net worth of $65 million per CelebrityNetWorth, may be interested in taking some of that available ownership stake.

"Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan and billionaire Marc Lasry have teamed up to pursue an investment in the NFL team, according to multiple people familiar with the talks," the report said.

The news comes only a few days after it was also reported that fellow club icon, quarterback Eli Manning, had an interest in joining the team and looking to purchase a major stake in the franchise. However, it was later noted that Manning would not follow through on the opportunity at this time.

Should this be the case and Strahan does indeed become a part-owner of the Giants, who are valued at $7.3 billion by Forbes, he will join a growing list of former players claiming ownership at the end of their playing careers.

Most notably, legendary quarterback and arguably the greatest player of all time, Tom Brady, became part of the Las Vegas Raiders ownership team following his retirement from the National Football League.

Michael Strahan Career Earnings

According to the popular sports financial and contract company Spotrac, Strahan has career earnings of $76,335,500 during his 15-year National Football League career. In addition to the money he has made from the NFL, Strahan has remained in the football world since retiring, including moving into a media role for Fox Sports.

Although the deal has yet to be completely finalized or officially confirmed by any of the parties involved, it is evident from the report that Strahan at least has some preliminary interest in becoming a new part-owner of the New York Giants in 2025.
