Khosla family completes purchase of the Seattle Seahawks from the Allen estate

The ownership of the Seattle Seahawks transitioned from the Paul Allen estate to the Khosla family this week ahead of the season opener. NFL leadership approved the $9.6 billion sale in late August, concluding the tenure of the Allen family as stewards of the franchise. Vinod Khosla now serves as the chair of the Seahawks, while Neeru Khosla assumes the role of controlling owner and president of the charitable foundation. Neal Khosla has been appointed as vice chair. Under Paul and Jody Allen, the team secured multiple division titles and two Super Bowl victories. This transition marks the end of an era that began when Paul Allen prevented the franchise from relocating during his initial purchase of the team.
