HOUSTON – Amy Adams Strunk wants to make sure this is clear.

“The team is not for sale,” the Tennessee Titans’ controlling owner told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday at the NFL meetings. “I don’t know how many different ways to say it. Haven’t talked to Bon Jovi or anybody else for that matter, and it’s not for sale.

“It’s part of our heritage – my dad’s legacy. We’re not going anywhere.”

Strunk, one of the daughters of franchise founder Bud Adams, became controlling owner of the Titans in March 2015. But Bud Adams didn’t have a clear succession plan in place, and the Titans remain noncompliant with the NFL’s requirements that a single owner have full legal control of the franchise, CBS Sports reported last month.

That has already led to a six-figure fine from the NFL, according to CBS Sports, which subsequently has reported the rock star Jon Bon Jovi is monitoring the situation as he seeks a team to buy and former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, who starred at the University of Tennessee, is interested in having an ownership stake in the Titans, too.

Titans president/CEO Steve Underwood declined comment on the fine, but said the team has “had a conversation going on with the league now for over two years, and we expect to continue that discussion.”

Said Strunk of the ownership issue: “It’s going to get worked out.”

The NFL has declined comment on the Titans ownership situation.

Strunk continues to live here in Houston, where the Titans (then the Oilers) were based through the 1996 season, but said she has a home in Nashville and spends roughly two weeks a month there. “I’m involved,” she said.

And Strunk plans to keep it that way.
