Tim Cook Linked To Potential NFL Team Purchase — And It Could Shake The League

Former Apple CEO Tim Cook has been named among potential buyers hoping to secure a pathway into NFL ownership. 

Cook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg are said to be among four billionaires who have expressed interest in buying the Seattle Seahawks. 

“At least four potential majority buyers have expressed interest, including two very familiar names: tech titans Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Apple’s Tim Cook, who recently announced he will step down as CEO and become EVP of the company’s board of directors,” Front Office Sports reports.

“Five sources familiar with the matter tell Front Office Sports they’ve heard Zuckerberg is considering a bid, while four say Cook is separately weighing an offer,” the publication added. 

FOS also notes that “the identities of the other two potential bidders were not clear, nor was it known whether any formal offers had been made.”

Representatives for Cook could not be reached, while the Paul G. Allen estate declined to comment.
