Report: NFL Pushing Jody Allen to Sell Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Times reports that the NFL is pressuring Seahawks chair Jody Allen to sell the franchise, citing league rules that require an individual, not a trust, to control ownership following Paul Allen’s 2018 death. The league denied issuing any fines, and the Paul G. Allen Trust insists the team is not for sale. A potential sale, however, would fetch $7 to $8 billion, setting a new NFL record.
