US EditionReport: Seahawks Will Be Put up for Sale After Super Bowl LX
- On January 30, 2026, ESPN reported the Seattle Seahawks will be put up for sale after the Super Bowl, with sale talks occurring over the past week, but a spokesman for the Paul G. Allen Estate said 'the team is not for sale.'
- Jody Allen has long said the teams will eventually be sold, and with the 10% Lumen Field/stadium clause expired in May of 2025, the estate is completing the Portland Trail Blazers sale while saying the Seahawks are not for sale now.
- Sportico valued the franchise at $6.59 billion recently, ESPN cited a team executive projecting a $7 billion to $8 billion sale, surpassing the $6.05 billion Washington Commanders sale benchmark.
- The estate responded that the team is not for sale and focus remains on winning the Super Bowl on Feb. 8 and completing the Blazers sale in coming months, while the NFL spokesman and Seahawks declined comment.
- Paul Allen's stated plan envisions selling the teams and donating proceeds, a process the Paul G. Allen Estate says can take 10 to 20 years, while Super Bowl timing could draw Washington State billionaires as buyers.
