Overview
- At the NFL Scouting Combine, GM Joe Schoen said he would not go beyond Steve Tisch’s prior statement expressing regret about a “brief association” with Jeffrey Epstein.
- New head coach John Harbaugh said conversations with ownership have focused on football matters and offered no stance on Tisch’s continued role.
- Justice Department emails published last month show Epstein arranging introductions of women for Tisch and coaching follow-up, including a note about convincing a woman not to return to Ukraine.
- Tisch has said the exchanges involved adult women and denied visiting Epstein’s island, while outlets have reported the correspondence suggests a deeper pattern than he described.
- Coverage notes the NFL has not publicly launched an investigation, drawing criticism under the league’s personal conduct standards and prompting comparisons to past owner discipline; separate reports say other owners, including Josh Harris, were also named in the files.
