It’s been barely a week since the Seattle Seahawks hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in franchise history, thumping the overpowered and overmatched New England Patriots 29-13 to lay claim to bragging rights as the best team in the league for the next year.
And now the franchise is officially for sale, with the team making an announcement Wednesday morning that the process of selling the team has begun, with investment banking firm Allen & Company retained to facilitate the sale.
The team had been held in the estate of Paul Allen since his death in late 2018, with his sister Jody Allen filling in as acting owner since that time.
There has been no shortage of debate about when the team might be put up for sale, with reports on the eve of the Super Bowl indicating that the process of selling the team would be put up for sale after the season had concluded.
The season has now concluded, and the Seahawks are officially for sale.
