NFL owners approve sale of Seattle Seahawks to Khosla family
NFL owners voted unanimously on Wednesday to approve the sale of the Seattle Seahawks franchise to the Khosla family, led by Vinod and Neeru Khosla, from former owner Jody Allen, Commissioner Roger Goodell announced.
The Khosla family entered into a formal sale agreement with the Paul G. Allen Estate on July 11 for a league-record price of $9.612 billion, ESPN reported.
Allen’s estate announced on Feb. 18 it had begun the process of selling the team, which is coming off its second Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
"How often do you get to buy a franchise that just won the Super Bowl?" Vinod Khosla said Wednesday, flanked by his co-owners, wife Neeru and son Neal Khosla, at the NFL owners' meeting in Atlanta. "We are incredibly lucky and humbled by this gift."
Goodell joked the Khoslas have "great timing" in purchasing the reigning Super Bowl champs, adding, "I know, most importantly, with tremendous confidence that they will be tremendous caretakers of the Seattle Seahawks, the organization and the great partnership they have with the community."
