There's a soft market for the Seahawks, so far
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks are currently up for sale, but the market interest is softer than expected, with fewer buyers showing strong commitment.
- The anticipated sale price is now expected to be slightly above $9 billion, lower than the previously projected range of $9 billion to $11 billion, though still a record-breaking figure.
- The $9 billion-plus price would surpass the 2023 record $6.05 billion sale of the Commanders but not by as large a margin as initially anticipated.
- A major hurdle is the limited number of buyers with sufficient liquid assets to cover the required 30 percent down payment on the high valuation.
- The sale process is likely to extend into the 2026 NFL season, with some potential delays possibly stemming from management’s reluctance, despite financial penalties encouraging progress.
