Report: Lurie Gets Full Control of Eagles

NFL.com says Christina only has a small share of the franchise

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie will keep full control of the team as his marriage to wife Christina ends, according to NFL.com.

Rumors have been flying that Christina Lurie would get a large chunk of the Eagles in the divorce. The couple purchased the team in 1994 for $185 million. The team is now worth more than $1 billion.

NFL.comโ€™s Albert Breer cites league sources who say Christina only has a โ€œsmall, non-voting share of the teamโ€ and that Jeffrey, 60, is the only person with โ€œvoting stock.โ€

Christina has led the teamโ€™s community outreach efforts. The 52-year-old won an Oscar, along with her husband, for executive producing the documentary film Inside Job. The film focused on the 2008 global financial crisis.

The Luries announced they would be ending their 20 year marriage in July.

An Eagles spokesperson offered NBC10 a "no comment" on the report.
