NFL Rumors: Eagles Sell 8% of Team at $8.3B Valuation; Lurie Maintains Control

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is selling a stake in the franchise to two family investors.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Lurie is selling eight percent of the Eagles based on an $8.3 billion valuation of the franchise.

Lurie, who has owned the Eagles since 1994, will maintain complete control over the organization.

An eight percent interest at that valuation equates to $664 million as the sale price.

Per Spotrac's Michael Ginnitti, the $8.3 billion valuation for the Eagles is $2.25 billion richer than the Washington Commanders sold for when they were purchased by a group led by Josh Harris.

Based on Ginnitti's assessment, the Cowboys' valuation will have increased by nearly $2 billion in four months.

In an update of NFL franchise valuations released in August, Forbes estimated the Cowboys to be worth $10.1 billion.

It marked the 18th straight year the Cowboys have been the most valuable team in the league, and they became the first franchise in any sport with a $10 billion valuation.

The Eagles were valued at a $6.6 billion by Forbes, which was the eighth-highest total among all NFL teams.

Lurie is having an outstanding year in his post as Eagles owner. On top of the money he will be making for selling the small stake in the franchise, the team is challenging for the best record in the NFC with an 11-2 mark going into Week 15.

The Eagles have already clinched a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive season. They can clinch the NFC East title as soon as Sunday with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and a Commanders loss or tie against the New Orleans Saints.
