Paul G. Allen Estate to Khosla Family: A Historic NFL Deal

The Estate of Paul G. Allen has entered into a formal sale agreement with the ownership group led by the Khosla family, according to a team press release.  According to the release, the Kholsa family, led by Vinod Khosla, his wife Neeru, and their son Neal, has agreed to a purchase price of $9.612 billion.  That price would surpass the $6.05  billion the Josh Harris Group paid to buy the Washington Commanders in 2023.  For final ratification, a least 24 of the remaining 31 owners would need to approve it.   

FIRST MINORITY OWNERSHIP

A memo circulated to all league owners on Saturday morning stated that Neeru would be the controlling partner, with her son, Neal, in a significant leadership role. The memo stated that the  Khosla family would have to give up their minority interest ( 3%)  in the San Francisco 49ers, which they bought last year.  With Neeru being the controlling partner, the Seahawks would be the first  NFL franchise to have a minority as a major controlling partner.
