Seahawks Win Super Bowl, Owner Plans to Sell Team Before Anyone Can Pry Trophy Away
KEY POINTS
- •Jody Allen led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl LX victory in February 2026 but plans to sell the team afterwards.
- •The Seahawks ownership comes from the Paul G. Allen Trust following Paul Allen’s death in 2018, with team value part of NFL’s top franchises.
- •Player surveys rated owners on investment and culture, with the Cardinals receiving a D-, Falcons and Ravens earning A ranges under different billionaires.
Jody Allen, Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen’s sister, just lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy high during Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on February 8, 2026, only to remind everyone she might peace out faster than your internet connection when you finally win ranked. She took over the Seahawks via the Paul G. Allen Trust after Paul’s 2018 eternal Microsoft meeting and is reportedly selling off the team to fund philanthropy—because nothing says giving back like cashing in a multi-billion-dollar sports franchise. Meanwhile, the NFL flexes serious muscle with 30 teams in Forbes’ top 50 sports family fortunes for 2025. Michael Bidwill’s Cardinals, inherited from Great-Grandpappy Charles for $50K in 1933 (now $5.5B), got a D- from players due to a reported culture that sounds less “team spirit” and more “HR nightmare.” Arthur Blank, who bought the Falcons on a napkin for $545 million in 2002 and is worth $11.1 billion (because apparently NFL billionaires don’t use fancy contracts), earned an A+ from players and built the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, probably a nicer house than your mortgage, good for nine winning seasons and one super awkward Super Bowl loss. Meanwhile, Steve Bisciotti, the Ravens’ owner since 2004 and a neat $8.5 billion man, boasts two Super Bowls and an A rating from players, proving you can be nice and rich. Oh, and the NFL Players Association surveyed 1,695 players, grading owners from F- to A+ based on how much they pretend to care, which, spoiler: Jody’s Seahawks owner might soon disappear faster than a winning streak.

Jody Allen winning the Super Bowl then selling the Seahawks is like throwing a roaring house party and handing the Airbnb keys to strangers immediately after.
Buying billion-dollar football teams on cocktail napkins, then grading owners like they’re coffee shop baristas? NFL’s new power moves.
If your owner’s idea of culture improvement sounds like a corporate training video, congrats, you live in the Cardinals’ parody of professionalism.
