Rumors have swirled surrounding the possibility that Seahawks chair Jody Allen might sell the football team. However, Seattle coach Pete Carroll told reporters that the Allen is not involved in those conversations.
“She’s never entertained that thought at all,” Carroll said. “I haven’t heard her say that at all.”
The rumors initially surfaced when the trust for the late Paul Allen, who was a co-founder for Microsoft and owner of the Seahawks, the NBA’s Trail Blazers and MLS’s Sounders, called for the Seahawks and Trail Blazers to be sold. If the teams were sold, the proceeds were going to go toward Allen’s passion projects that he cared deeply about.
