While the Boston Celtics deals with the fallout of another disappointing NBA playoffs elimination , two members of the franchise’s ownership group are planning to invade the NFL. Former C’s governor and current minority owner Wyc Grousbeck and alternate governor Aditya Mittal are preparing to make a bid for the Seattle Seahawks , per The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach.

Following a magnificent 2025-26 campaign that concluded with a commanding 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60, the Paul G. Allen Trust should be able to secure a historic deal with whomever decides to purchase the team. Grousbeck and Mittal intend to maintain their roles with the Celtics even if they succeed in their efforts.
Although it could cost $10 billion to buy the Seahawks, the opportunity to own stake in an NFL squad is just too lucrative to overlook, especially for two men who are already embedded in the sports industry.. The league grows more plump by the year, as the game continues to rise in popularity around the globe. Moreover, Seattle has a solid foundation in place with 38-year-old Mike Macdonald serving as head coach.
Aditya Mittal, the CEO of steel and mining behemoth ArcelorMittal, invested in the Celtics last year and has obviously formed a close relationship with Boston’s fellow higher-ups. Wyc Grousbeck served as the C’s lead owner for more than two decades before selling majority control to Bill Chisholm. His passion for the team is undeniable, but he is obviously eager to expand his portfolio.
If Mittal and Grousbeck can acquire the Seahawks, a difficult NBA offseason should be much easier to endure.
