Sources report the Seattle Seahawks will be put up for sale following Super Bowl LX, ending years of speculation. The team has been under the control of Jody Allen, executor of Paul G. Allen's estate, since his death in 2018. Sale discussions have reportedly been ongoing at the ownership and league levels recently.

This sale will mark the first time in the Super Bowl era a team playing in the championship game is immediately put on the market. The franchise could potentially set a record for an NFL team sale price, especially after a successful season. Sportico values the Seahawks at $6.59 billion, with some executives estimating a sale between $7 and $8 billion.

The Seahawks have made the playoffs seven times in the last ten years, playing at Lumen Field, which is getting nearly $20 million in upgrades. The team also boasts a well-regarded general manager-head coach combination in John Schneider and Mike Macdonald. The sale follows Allen's directive to donate proceeds to charity.

This move adds another layer of intrigue to an already exciting season, especially as the Seahawks prepare to face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. The potential sale price reflects the increasing value of NFL franchises and the team's recent success. The future of the team is now a major storyline.
