We are honored to be entrusted as the next guardians of the Seattle Seahawks.

This acquisition signifies a major shift in ownership for the Seahawks, who were previously owned by the late Paul Allen. Allen had purchased the Seattle franchise in 1997 for $194 million. The Khosla family, who previously held a minority ownership in the San Francisco 49ers, will divest their stake in the California-based team to assume control of the Seahawks.
