The Seattle Seahawks are entering into a new era with Vinod Khosla and his family taking control over the franchise. Over the weekend, news broke that Khosla and his ownership group will be purchasing the Seahawks for an NFL-record $9.6 billion dollars. Seattle's sale trails only the Los Angeles Lakers, who sold for $10 billion in 2025.
Naturally, the 12th Man has plenty of questions about the new owner. One area of Khosla's background that is certainly giving fans considerable pause is this is not Khosla's first foray into NFL ownership. In fact, Khosla got his foot in the league's door by purchasing a stake in ownership of... wait for it... the San Francisco 49ers.
Vinod Khosla, and his son Neal, purchased 3.1% of the 49ers in 2025. Now, I understand where fans may be generating their concern. "How can someone be involved in the 49ers and own the Seahawks!?"
Not to fear, my friends. Before Khosla can officially purchase the Seahawks, he must first sell his stake in the 49ers per NFL rules. Khosla is not going to be a double agent, and I'm assuming someone who has worked their life to become as wealthy as he is, I'm sure he is going to be as competitive as imaginable to beat his former friends/business associates in San Francisco.
