Rapper Macklemore also threw his hat onto the field joining Ciara and Wilson on the ownership group.
Wilson remains the starting QB for the Seattle Seahawks and has been making efforts to transition from sports player to sports team owner, including being an investor in the Portland Diamond Project, with the goal of bringing Major League Baseball to Portland.
