The Seattle Seahawks have barely had time to bask in their Super Bowl glory, having just secured their second Lombardi Trophy with a decisive 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. Yet, the franchise is already entering a new chapter, as they announced on Wednesday morning that the team is officially up for sale. The process will be facilitated by the investment banking firm Allen & Company.
Since the passing of Paul Allen in 2018, the Seahawks have been under the stewardship of his sister, Jody Allen. Her role as acting owner has been a topic of much discussion, with speculation swirling about the team's future ownership.
Now, with the season wrapped up and the Seahawks at the pinnacle of the NFL, the decision to sell marks a significant moment in the franchise's history. As fans celebrate their team's recent triumph, they also face the anticipation of what new ownership might bring to the storied franchise.
