Two groups vie to purchase Seahawks as sale approaches

The Seattle Seahawks are nearing a sale, with two groups leading the bid. One group is headed by Aditya Mittal and Wyc Grousbeck, while the other is led by Vinod Khosla. An unnamed former Seahawks player is involved with one of the bidders. Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos and interest from Todd Boehly have been ruled out. The Paul G. Allen Estate, managing the sale, has not disclosed further details, but speculation suggests final bids may reach between $9 billion and $11 billion. NFL franchises, including the Seahawks, hold significant value due to shared revenues.
