Heir to the throne? Sure. Co-owner? Nah.

Khan is learning the ropes. He'll be more of a hybrid of his dad with a little Lamping and Coughlin mixed in. He works very closely with all of these guys, but he's got a lot of seasoning to do before he's the boss.

OK. If you say so, but I'm not just making this stuff up. I've been reading the words "co-owner" before or after his name for quite some time now.

Tony Khan (born October 10, 1982) is a Pakistani-American billionaire businessman. A noted American football and association football executive, he is a co-owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL) and the Premier League team Fulham F.C..[2] Khan is also the founder, owner, and president of the All Elite Wrestling(AEW) professional wrestling promotion.[3]

All Elite Wrestling was officially announced last night, and sources have confirmed Jacksonville Jaguars co-owner Tony Khan is President of the company.

As we previously reported, the Khan family has been connected to the rumors of All Elite Wrestling since they first began. Our sources say that’s because Tony Khan is a big part of AEW, as he’ll be serving in the top role of the company.
We’re told Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson and Cody Rhodes will serve as Executive Vice Presidents. Sources say keeping the creative team behind All In together was a huge element of the deal.

O'Halloran after a three hour interview w/ Tony from 2015:

The majority of Khan’s role with the Jaguars is compiling detailed reports for Bradley and his staff early in a game week. But he also dabbles in personnel evaluation, which led him to scouting Grant.

Yes, Khan is a part of ownership. But no, people with the Jaguars say, he doesn’t flex those figurative muscles.
“I tell the team, ‘This is the owner and he’s got great information,’” Bradley says.

...

Khan says 2012 was used to build a staff and foundation for how analytics would be used. Following the 2-14 season, Shad Khan fired general manager Gene Smith and interviewed four candidates. Tony was present and involved in every interview and each general manager and head-coaching candidate was told of the Jaguars’ commitment to analytics.

The kid is very much in the picture.
