NFL owners are convening in Atlanta today to vote on the sale of the Seattle Seahawks. Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla proposes to purchase the team for $9.6 billion, which would set a record for NFL franchises. If approved, Khosla and his family will take on prominent roles in ownership. Concerns about relocation have been addressed, with indications that Lumen Field will remain the franchise's home. Following the vote, the NFL will take about a week to vet the payment before announcing the new ownership, expected around September 8 or 9, coinciding with the Seahawks' season opener against the New England Patriots.
