The secretive sale of the Seattle Seahawks may soon become less opaque. According to a report by Bloomberg News, citing Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, the first round of bids was due today, June 29. Three candidate groups have been identified: a consortium led by Wyc Grousbeck and Aditya Mittal, who serve as alternate governors of the Boston Celtics; a group headed by Vinod Khosla, a minority owner of the San Francisco Giants; and a consortium led by billionaire Todd Boehly, part‑owner of the L.A. Lakers and chairman/owner of Chelsea Football Club.
The Seahawks have been owned by Jody Allen since her brother Paul’s death in 2018. Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the team had been fined $5 million for failing to meet NFL ownership requirements, a penalty the league later said was not imposed. As reported by Pro Football Talk (PFT), the NFL agreed to withhold the fine in exchange for a commitment to sell the franchise, in line with Paul Allen’s trust directives. The team was placed for sale following the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX victory.
In February, the anticipated sale price was projected to fall between $9 billion and $11 billion. A subsequent soft‑market report tempered expectations, but the market has since rebounded. PFT noted earlier this month that indicators continue to favor a deal being finalized before the 2026 regular season begins. “Regardless of how long the process takes, today is the day to put up or shut up,” the source added.
