The Paul G. Allen Estate announced the Seattle Seahawks will be sold to a group led by Vinod Khosla, pending league approval. The final bidding process was highly competitive, culminating with Khosla's group bidding $9.612 billion. A deciding factor in the selection may have been Khosla's intention to name his wife, Neeru Khosla, as the controlling owner. This aspect reportedly appealed to Jody Allen, sister of the deceased Paul Allen, who had managed the team since 2018. The next step is awaiting NFL approval for the sale.
