Khosla Family Agrees to Purchase Defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle for $9.612B, AP Source Says
The deal would set a record NFL franchise price and still needs league approval before the transfer can be completed.
- On Saturday, the Seattle Seahawks announced that an ownership group led by billionaire Vinod Khosla has agreed to purchase the NFL franchise for $9.6 billion.
- Jody Allen, executor of the trust managing the team since Paul Allen's 2018 death, put the franchise up for sale to fulfill her late brother's directive to benefit charity.
- This $9.6 billion valuation shatters the previous NFL record of $6.05 billion set by the Washington Commanders in 2023, marking the highest price ever paid for an NFL team.
- NFL owners are expected to vote on the transaction on August 26, while the Khosla family, including Neeru and Neal Khosla, must divest their 3.1% stake in the San Francisco 49ers.
- Coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider remain under contract through 2029 and 2031, providing stability as the new ownership group takes over the Super Bowl champions.
