Allen Trust<\/b> technically owns the <b>Seattle Seahawks<\/b>, but <b>Jody Allen<\/b> controls them as trustee. <b>Paul Allen<\/b>, the <b>Microsoft co-founder<\/b>, purchased the franchise in <b>1997<\/b> for <b>$194 million<\/b>. He died on October 10, <b>2018<\/b>, at age <b>65<\/b> from complications of non-Hodgkin&#8217;s lymphoma. When he passed, his <b>$20 billion estate<\/b> transferred to his sister.<\/p>\n<p>Jody assumed the role of <b>executor and trustee<\/b> according to Paul&#8217;s explicit instructions. She became <b>chair<\/b> of the Seahawks and has made major franchise decisions, including <b>firing legendary coach Pete Carroll<\/b> after the <b>2023 season<\/b>. She then elevated <b>general manager John Schneider<\/b> and hired <b>Mike Macdonald<\/b> as head coach, leading to a <b>14-win season and Super Bowl LX appearance<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>How Did This Ownership Structure Happen?<\/h2>\n<p>Paul Allen purchased the Seahawks in <b>1996<\/b> and completed the deal in <b>1997<\/b> from previous owner <b>Ken Behring<\/b>. According to ESPN, this acquisition saved the team from potential relocation to <b>Southern California<\/b>. Allen remained the sole owner for <b>21 years<\/b> until October <b>2018<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Upon Paul&#8217;s death, his entire estate, including the Seahawks and <b>Portland Trail Blazers<\/b>, passed to <b>Jody<\/b>. Unlike typical team sales, this created a unique situation where an individual trustee rather than a single billionaire directly owns the team. This structure has created complications with <b>NFL ownership rules<\/b>, which require an individual controlling owner.<\/p>\n<h2>Seahawks Ownership: Then and Now<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Aspect<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Current Ownership Entity<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Paul G.

Jody inherited not just the Seahawks but also the <b>Trail Blazers basketball team<\/b>. Paul&#8217;s will contained specific instructions to sell both franchises and donate all proceeds to charity causes. In <b>September 2025<\/b>, the estate agreed to sell the <b>Trail Blazers to Tom Dundon<\/b>, the <b>Carolina Hurricanes owner<\/b>, for over <b>$4 billion<\/b>.<\/p>\n<blockquote style='border-left:4px solid #3498db;padding-left:20px;margin:25px 0;font-style:italic;color:#555'><p>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m incredibly proud to be standing here today and accepting this on behalf of all the 12s here, all the 12s across the country and all the 12s across the globe.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style='font-size:0.9em;color:#666;margin-top:-15px'>\u2014 <b>Jody Allen<\/b>, Seahawks Chair, NFC Championship Game<\/p>\n<h2>What Prompted the Sale Timeline?<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>NFL<\/b> has reportedly pressured the estate to finalize a sale. League rules require an individual to be the controlling owner, creating complications with an estate holding the franchise. According to reports, the <b>Seahawks were fined $5 million<\/b> for ownership noncompliance. ESPN sources revealed that <b>Super Bowl LX<\/b> marks the official trigger for listing the team.<\/p>\n<p><b>Jody Allen<\/b> released a statement in <b>July 2022<\/b> confirming that neither team was for sale at that moment but acknowledged both would eventually be sold. She noted that estates this large can take <b>10 to 20 years to wind down<\/b>. The recent pressure and the <b>Trail Blazers sale momentum<\/b> accelerated the Seahawks timeline significantly.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happens Next to Team Ownership?<\/h2>\n<p>Once the Seahawks formally go on the market after <b>Super Bowl LX<\/b>, prospective billionaire buyers will compete for the franchise. <b>ESPN sources<\/b> suggest the team could fetch <b>$7 billion to $8 billion<\/b>, potentially setting a record for <b>NFL franchise sales<\/b>. The <b>Washington Commanders<\/b> sold to <b>Josh Harris<\/b> in <b>2023<\/b> for <b>$6.05 billion<\/b>, so the Seahawks sale would exceed that benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from the sale will fund Paul Allen&#8217;s philanthropic legacy. The <b>Vulcan Legacy<\/b>, aligned with his charitable vision, will receive the capital. Jody has demonstrated strong stewardship, maintaining playoff success despite the ownership transition. <b>Mike Macdonald<\/b> praised her commitment to winning during the hiring process. Will the franchise&#8217;s new ownership maintain this competitive momentum or shift direction?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":41536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Paul Allen\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2727795\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jody Allen\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1265219\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Pete Carroll\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1483572\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"John Schneider\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/c3cM4MuGSfDFQScZsYyWzVkD0pp.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/55779\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Mike MacDonald\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/xO1WTzuQdAASfKvMjjr0Ioz1t9D.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/113242\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ken Behring\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Tom Dundon\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Josh Harris\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3310563\"]},{\"@type\":\"Place\",\"name\":\"Seattle\",\"description\":\"city\"},{\"@type\":\"Place\",\"name\":\"Portland\",\"description\":\"city\"}]}","_extracted_celebrities":null,"_extracted_movies":"","_extracted_places":null,"_extracted_videos":"","_last_enrichment_date":"2026-02-08 19:10:28","footnotes":""},"categories":[188],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Who owns the Seattle Seahawks?
