- Vinod Khosla, a current 49ers limited partner, is leading the group that has agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks
- The sale price is a record $9.612 billion, per sources cited by ESPN
- The Khosla family is required to divest its interest in the San Francisco 49ers as a condition of the purchase
- The purchase agreement positions Khosla as a new NFL principal owner moving from minority investor to controlling buyer
Why it matters: At $9.612 billion, the deal sets a new NFL franchise sale record and forces Khosla to immediately exit his 49ers stake — a cross-divisional ownership conflict that the league's cross-ownership rules are specifically designed to prevent.
