The late Paul Allen owned the Seattle Seahawks and the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers. Neither are for sale, officially.<\/p>\n

That isn’t stopping Nike founder Phil Knight from trying to buy one of them.<\/p>\n

As explained by Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times<\/em>, recent reports from multiple outlets indicate that Knight has submitted a written offer to buy the basketball team for more than $ 2 billion. The Blazers issued a statement acknowledging the offer but adding this: “The team remains not for sale.”<\/p>\n

The activity regarding the Trail Blazers has sparked a fresh wave of speculation regarding the future of Allen’s NFL franchise. The Seahawks reportedly are not for sale, either.<\/p>\n

Talk of a potential Seahawks and \/ or Trail Blazers sale apparently traces to a report from Portland writer and radio host John Canzano, who said the Paul Allen trust provides that his assets must be liquidated with the proceeds going to Allen’s “passion projects.”<\/p>\n

Allen’s sister, Jody, inherited both teams along with the rest of her brother’s massive estate. The teams essentially are run by Vulcan, a company that Paul and Jody Allen created in 1986 to basically oversee Paul Allen’s Microsoft-generated billions, and to advance specific philanthropic goals.<\/p>\n

If a Seahawks sale is coming, it’s probably a good idea to let things percolate for a few more years. Franchise values \u200b\u200bcurrently are spiking. Once the Broncos sell, likely for at least $ 5 billion, the price for the Seahawks could go even higher – especially as more and more TV and gambling money rolls through the door for all NFL teams.<\/p>\n

Before too long, $ 5 billion will become $ 7 billion. At some point, $ 7 billion will become $ 10 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
