Your spoiled/entitled football brat owners put the team up for sale...Walton buying your team didn't happen overnight. Patton was still at their beckon call...he worked for them.
I think part of the negotiation was contingent on bringing in a "name brand" QB....they tried for Rodgers and he ultimately balked. Then you see Wilson in Goodell's SB suite...one months later, he's traded to the Donks. Three months later...Walton buys them for a record amount.
This was, IMO, the reason for the crazy-ass deal...Patton was doing as he was instructed...and Seattle took them to the cleaners. It wasn't a "football" move per se...it was facilitated as part of the sale. To make the team more appealing to a non-football business man like Walton (he cant even pronounce the commissioners name...think about that). The previous owners just clowned your entire fan-base....they got a record 4.6 billion and rode off into the sunset.
They've deliberately hamstrung your franchise for a few years...
Now Goodell/NFL corporate is disingenuously trying to over-hype the transaction...and have given the mouthpiece their narrative for the off-season. Kind of a "soft cover up". They want the fans to see this as a good "football move" thing...all the while it was really done solely for business purposes and to jack up the asking price.
Now...we'll see this manufactured pre-season hype filters into actual games/officiating ...inventing a success story for the new owner.

I dunno... the first 9 or 10 times I read this in previous posts weren't effective, but the narrative is developing better. Keep going and you might have be convinced.
