Key NFL Committees Clear Way for $9.6 Billion Seahawks Sale

The sale is now likely to be ratified next week.

Key NFL Committees Clear Way for $9.6 Billion Seahawks Sale

The NFL’s finance and ownership policy committees have unanimously recommended approval for the league-record $9.612 billion sale of the Seahawks from the Paul G. Allen estate to a group led by the family of venture capitalist Vinod Khosla. This recommendation practically ensures that the sale will be ratified by the full group of owners when they meet next Wednesday in Atlanta, with the sale expected to officially close in September.

The Khosla group reached an agreement last month to buy the Seahawks, and their estimated net worth is $13.3 billion.
