Seahawks Sold for Record $9.7B | Seattle News

The Seattle Seahawks are set for a historic $9.8 billion sale to the Khosla family, smashing previous NFL franchise records and honoring the late Paul Allen’s philanthropic wishes. Vinod Khosla, a Silicon Valley titan and current minority owner in the 49ers, must divest his stake, while Neeru Khosla is expected to lead the new ownership. Fans are divided—some thrilled by the potential, others wary after the Sonics’ departure in 2008. With a lease through 2032 and NFL approval expected in August, the deal’s timing offers stability ahead of the season. The Seahawks’ world-class status is reflected in their valuation, and building fan trust will be the Khosla family’s top priority—starting with a potential early lease extension.
