Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $225k open interest, and the 45¢ spread represents a massive 196% bid-ask gap that makes meaningful trading impossible. The 833% implied yield on the "Yes" side is a classic liquidity mirage—it reflects the tiny ask price rather than genuine probability assessment, especially given the neutral regime and 518% realized volatility suggesting erratic pricing rather than informed conviction. The 7¢-to-23¢ price tripling over a week combined with a 1.78 vol ratio and 3 cliff risk index indicates this is likely a low-conviction, thinly-traded position that should be heavily discounted as a probability signal.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve to the named individual who is publicly announced as having agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks by September 9, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET (the beginning of the 2026 NFL regular season).

Allen estate (also known as Vulcan LLC) has reached a binding agreement to sell a majority interest in the team. Minority sales will not be considered. If a sale is announced to an individual that is not listed, this market will resolve to “Other”. If two or more listed individuals are announced as joint owners or part of the same ownership group, this market will resolve to the individual announced as the controlling owner. If two or more listed individuals are announced as the controlling owners, this market will resolve to the individual whose last name comes first alphabetically. For the purposes of this market, the completion (closing) of the sale is not required. The primary resolution source will be official statements from the National Football League or the Seattle Seahawks. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
