Seahawks Sale Reported for Post‑Super Bowl Timing as Estate Denies It

Conflicting reports cite league pressure on the Paul G. Allen estate to resolve trust ownership.

Overview

  • ESPN reported the franchise is expected to be put on the market after Super Bowl LX, with talks held at ownership and league levels over the past week.
  • A spokesperson for the Paul G. Allen Estate said the organization does not comment on speculation and stated the team is not for sale.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported the NFL has urged the estate to move toward an individual controlling owner, with a claimed fine disputed by the league.
  • Independent valuations place the team near $6.6–$6.7 billion, while one executive told ESPN a sale could reach $7–8 billion and set an NFL record.
  • If listed immediately after the game, it would be a first for a Super Bowl participant, and a state revenue‑sharing clause tied to a past lease has expired, removing a potential timing hurdle.
