Report: Apple's Cook, Meta's Zuckerberg Among Seahawks Suitors
The estate has hired advisors and seeks NFL ratification as the expected price nears $9 billion to $11 billion.
- On Thursday, Front Office Sports reported that Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook are potential bidders for the Seattle Seahawks, though conflicting reports exist regarding their direct involvement.
- Following the team's Super Bowl LX victory in February, the estate of late owner Paul Allen commenced the formal sale process to fulfill mandates in Allen's will regarding his sports holdings.
- Experts expect the team to fetch between $8 billion and $10 billion, though Puck's Dylan Byers reported that Zuckerberg and Cook may simply be investors in a fund rather than individual bidders.
- Investment bank Allen & Co. is leading the sale process, which must navigate strict NFL ownership rules requiring a controlling owner to hold at least 30% of the franchise.
- A sale within the projected $8-10 billion range would smash the record $6.05 billion paid for the Washington Commanders, while the Seahawks currently sit first in Bleacher Report's post-draft power rankings.
