During his Friday press conference, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about league concerns about the Titans’ ownership structure.
Amy Adams Strunk is the controlling owner of the Titans and controls 33 percent of the team. Another daughter of the late Bud Adams also owns 33 percent and other heirs own smaller shares. Goodell said that the league would have to work with the Titans to “see how [their structure is] going to conform with our policies” about a single owner representing the team locally and at the team level.
In response to Goodell’s comments, Titans president Steve Underwood released a statement saying the team believes they will show the league they are in compliance with those policies.
“Commissioner Goodell’s remarks very ably set out the standard our club and the Adams family have been working with the league staff to satisfy,” Underwood said, via the Tennessean. “We are confident that the next time we meet with the Commissioner, he will be satisfied that Amy Adams Strunk has exactly what he said she needs -- local operating control and full authority to represent the Titans in league decisions.”
Giants co-owner John Mara said Friday that he doesn’t think there’s a major issue about the way the Titans are being run, which may suggest that the team is on its way to solving the issue.
