What happened: Adam Schefter reports the $9.612 billion price tag for the Khosla-led purchase of the Seattle Seahawks is more than 50% higher than the Washington Commanders' sale price in July 2023. The comparison puts a number on how sharply NFL franchise values have climbed in three years.

Why it matters: The gap frames just how far ownership prices have run since the Commanders changed hands, with the Seahawks sale already standing as the largest in NFL history. Owners are scheduled to vote on ratifying the deal at a special meeting Aug. 26.

By the numbers: $9.612 billion Seahawks sale price is more than 50% above the Commanders' July 2023 sale price, per Schefter.

What to watch: NFL owners meet Aug. 26 to vote on the Seahawks sale.
