The Seattle Seahawks are in the process of trying to sell the team and there appears to be two front-runners to acquire them.
According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, the names he has heard consistently as potential buyers for the Seahawks are Boston Celtics limited partner Aditya Mittal and Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos.
The sale of the Seahawks popped up in the news last week, with ESPN's Seth Wickersham reporting the interest hasn't been as robust as expected.
"It's soft," an unnamed team owner said of the interest in Seattle.
"There isn't as much action as there was with Denver and Washington," one executive said to Wickersham.
Breer believes that has everything to do with the surging prices of NFL franchises rather than a simple lack of interest in the Seahawks.
