NFL’s Seahawks to go up for sale after upcoming Super Bowl, ESPN reports

The National Football League’s Seattle Seahawks will go up for sale following the conclusion of the upcoming Super Bowl, in which the Seahawks will be playing against the New England Patriots, ESPN’s Seth Wickersham and Brady Henderson report, citing league and ownership sources familiar with the arrangement. Sale talks have taken place at ownership and league levels for at least the past week, the author says, noting that such a move would end years of questions about when the team would seek new ownership following the 2018 passing of former owner Paul Allen. Publicly traded owners of sports franchises include the Liberty Braves Group (BATRA), MSG Sports (MSGS) and Manchester United (MANU).
