What happened: The Seahawks confirmed the sale agreement themselves, according to a report from @jjones9. The Khosla-led group's deal values the franchise at a record $9.612 billion. The sale becomes official once NFL owners vote to approve it.
Why it matters: The team's own confirmation adds to reporting already out from ESPN, AP and Sportico tying the deal to a group led by Vinod Khosla. The price tops the Commanders' 2023 sale by more than 50%, resetting the league's franchise valuation bar. Owner approval is now the only remaining formal step.
By the numbers: The $9.612 billion price exceeds the Commanders' 2023 sale by more than 50%.
What to watch: NFL owners are set to vote on the sale at a special meeting Aug. 26.
