Professional sports teams have traditionally been seen as coveted assets, and bids for them remain increasingly competitive as their availability remains scarce. But more National Football League teams are likely to hit the sales block, says Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
“There’s going to be a few,” Irsay, also the Colts chief executive officer, said in a wide-ranging interview on Bloomberg’s ‘Business of Sports’ show. “Seattle -- with Paul Allen my friend unfortunately passing away and that team is in a trust -- is going to become available I’d imagine in the 2024 range.”
