The Khosla family has agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, acquiring controlling interest from the Paul Allen estate in what marks the highest price ever paid for an NFL franchise. Vinod Khosla, his wife Neeru, and their son Neal will become the fourth ownership group in the team's 51-year operating history.

The transaction follows the Seahawks' second Super Bowl championship, won with a decisive 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots. The purchase price substantially exceeds the previous NFL ownership record of $6.05 billion set in 2023 when Josh Harris's group acquired the Washington Commanders, underscoring the rapidly increasing market valuations for major sports franchises.
