Amazon founder Jeff Bezos may turn his attention to buying the Seattle Seahawks, as the team is in better shape than the Commanders and could be sold by Jody Allen, sister of the late Paul Allen, who has been selling off his assets. The Seahawks are not currently for sale, but eventually will be, and if sold before May 2024, 10 percent of the proceeds will go to the State of Washington as part of the deal to build the team’s current stadium.
