NFL Owners Approve Seattle Seahawks Sale to Vinod Khosla Group for $9.6 Billion
NFL owners unanimously approved the sale of the Seattle Seahawks to venture capitalist Vinod Khosla and his family for a record $9.612 billion, marking the highest price for an NFL franchise. The sale, agreed upon by the estate of late owner Paul Allen, requires Khosla to divest his minority stake in the San Francisco 49ers. Neeru Khosla is expected to serve as the controlling owner. This transaction ranks among the largest in North American sports history, following recent high-value sales of the Lakers and Commanders.
