Incoming owner Vinod Khosla supports Jody Allen raising Seahawks 12 Flag

Vinod Khosla, representing the incoming ownership group of the Seattle Seahawks, expressed interest in having outgoing chair Jody Allen perform the ceremonial 12 Flag raising before the team's season opener. The gesture would serve as a final recognition of the Allen family's leadership as the franchise transition nears completion. NFL owners approved the sale of the team to the Khosla family in late August for $9.612 billion, with the deal expected to close later this week. Jody Allen previously raised the flag before the team's NFC Championship victory in January, a season that concluded with a Super Bowl LX win against the New England Patriots. While the Seahawks have not officially announced a flag raiser for the upcoming home opener, the potential tribute reflects the new ownership's stated goal of maintaining organizational continuity during the changeover.
