Vinod Khosla To Buy Seattle Seahawks From Paul Allen's Estate
The reported $9.6 billion sale still needs NFL approval, and Khosla says proceeds will fund nonprofit causes.
- Paul G. Allen's estate, not Allen himself, is the seller of record now.
- Vinod Khosla will become the team's new controlling owner, per the statement.
- The estate and Seahawks made the agreement public on July 11, 2026.
Why it matters: An NFL sale is decided twice: once by the buyer's check, once by the other owners' vote.
