Billionaire Connected to Basketball Could Become a Stakeholder in the Giants.
After the 2024 season, the New York Giants opted to keep head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen instead of making a complete overhaul. Despite this, the team saw considerable changes.
The Giants finished the season without any long-term quarterback prospects or experienced starters. For 2025, they will count on the reliable presence of Russell Wilson along with the promising talent of first-round pick Jaxson Dart.
The New York Giants decided to keep head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen after the 2024 season, choosing not to completely overhaul the team. Still, significant changes took place.
The team finished the season without a clear long-term quarterback or veteran starter but will head into 2025 with Russell Wilson’s experience and the promise of first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart.
On defense, the Giants added top edge rusher Abdul Carter and strengthened their secondary by acquiring cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland.
Off the field, more developments may be on the horizon. Owners John Mara and Steve Tisch announced plans to explore selling a 10 percent minority stake in the franchise. The team has hired Moelis & Company to manage the process but has not shared further details.
Several former Giants have expressed interest in buying a stake, including Eli Manning—who wants to invest only in the Giants—and Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, who is looking to grow his business ventures. However, they are unlikely to collaborate due to potential conflicts.
According to CNBC, billionaire Julia Koch, whose net worth exceeds $74 billion, is reportedly considering purchasing a limited partnership in the Giants. About a year ago, she bought a 15 percent stake in BSE Global, which owns the Brooklyn Nets, New York Liberty, and Barclays Center, with that stake valued at $6 billion.
Koch’s wealth largely comes from her late husband, David Koch.
Fans shouldn’t be concerned about the sale affecting the team’s leadership, as the stake being sold is minority and non-controlling, meaning Mara and Tisch will continue to run the franchise.
