Seahawks Sale Approved at $9.612B to Khosla Family

NFL owners approved the Seattle Seahawks sale for $9.612 billion to Vinod and Neeru Khosla, making the deal a record price for an NFL franchise and setting up a closing before the upcoming season. Neeru Khosla will be the controlling owner, with Vinod Khosla remaining a major figure and their son Neal expected to play a significant role. The transaction reportedly includes investors Sixth Street and a Carlyle-Dynasty alliance. The sale ends the Paul G. Allen Trust era that began after Allen’s 2018 death and follows a broader trend of large NFL franchise sales. League officials stressed stability for Seattle, with football operations and personnel likely to remain in place in the near term. The meeting also addressed ongoing league initiatives, including media rights, ticketing, and modernization efforts, against a backdrop of evolving ownership dynamics.
