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.
