Yes, the Page Six of the New York Post was accurate when it reported that the divorce of Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and wife Christina has been settled. No, Page Six wasn’t entirely accurate when reporting on the piece of the team Christina will own going forward.

Albert Breer of NFL Network reports that it’s not a “sizable chunk” but a small, non-voting share.

Jeffrey Lurie will be the only person with voting stock or management authority, and he will continue to hold a “far greater percentage” of the team than most owners do of their respective teams.

Under league rules, as little as 30 percent can be held by one family. There has been some discussion about dropping the minimum to 25 percent.
