Ndamukong Suh Says He Almost Invested in the Seahawks
He also “looked at” the Portland Blazers and Thorns.
Former NFL star Ndamukong Suh disclosed during the Front Office Sports Asset Class event that he had once considered investing in Vinod Khosla’s Seahawks ownership group, though the timing was not suitable. The Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowler shared during the occasion that he "looked at the Seahawks most recently and had an opportunity there, actually, with the winning group."
He emphasized that "timing and being in the right position is everything." Khosla, unable to comment immediately, could not be reached for a statement. Suh expressed interest in sports ownership but has yet to identify the perfect opportunity. In addition to the Seahawks, he contemplated investments in the NBA’s Trail Blazers and NWSL’s Thorns, both local franchises in Portland, but ultimately did not pursue either.
The Seahawks' ownership group was purchased by Khosla for a record-breaking $9.612 billion, consisting of tech, AI, private equity, and other investors, not including Mittal or Grousbeck. The NFL owners unanimously approved the transaction on August 26 in Atlanta, and the deal closed on September 3, with the new owners revealing their minority investors led by Mark Stevens.
