NFL owners vote

NFL owners set an Aug. 26, 2026 meeting in Atlanta to vote on the Seahawks sale to the Khosla family.
The $9.612 billion deal would transfer control from the Paul G. Allen Estate to Neeru Khosla.
Approval needs at least 24 of the 32 owners, with NFL Finance Committee chaired by Clark Hunt reviewing the sale.
The Khosla family must sell its 3.1% stake in the San Francisco 49ers before completing the purchase.

Summary

Reichbauer backs Seahawks

Pete von Reichbauer says the Khosla family’s record gives him confidence in the Seahawks, noting no local owners would assume controversy.
The Seahawks have a Super Bowl win, a 190-game sell-out streak and contracts through 2027 for coach and president.
Kristina Simmons said Vinod Khosla’s 2025 AI House talk urged hiring people, and his openness to ideas from anyone, even a 15-year-old in India, creates a ‘comfortably uncomfortable’ culture.
