A group led by San Francisco 49ers limited partner Vinod Khosla has agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, a record sale price for an NFL franchise, per @SethWickersham and me.

Koala is the cofounder of Sun Microsystems, and venture capitalists. He is currently a part owner of the Niners and leads a consortium of buyers for the Seahawks.

merged all three

Damn. I was only $9.6 billion short. So close

 

[Cyrus12]

Part owner of the niners...yikes

 

[seabowl]

He’s moving them to LA

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Alright, let’s see how this now plays out.

Don’t know much of the dude. Hope he doesn’t change organizational front office personnel.

Not something I'm necessarily excited about, but I just wanted the lesser of evils and this feels like it fits.

Seems ok. I hope we barely hear about this guy.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Glad it's done. On to trying to win another ring. Wasn't worried about it, and still am not at all.....

May or may not be a good owner.

Aside from the knee jerk, he apparently grew up a Niners fan going to games. I didn't mind that the owners are actually fans of the sport.

Also hasn't been in the ownership group there for long, but it's not bad to see the workings of the league through an ownership lense and gain that experience - the Niners are also decently owned .... Would be more concerned coming from AZ, Cleveland or some of those franchises

I preferred the Boston group as I think the Celtics have been run in a way that I'd hope for the Seahawks

 

[Maelstrom787]

Khosla is 71.

Paul Allen would only be 74 today if he was around. It's a shame.

Wasn’t my choice of the two finalists.


Praying it all works out well for team and fans.

Looking forward to press conferences

That just makes it funnier when we beat them.

 

[pmedic920]

Does he have to sell or relinquish his part of the niners?

Anyone know the legal aspect?

Does he have to sell or relinquish his part of the niners?

Anyone know the legal aspect?

Yes and I believe that will be done soon

he has to sell his shares in the 49ers to finalize the seahawks deal.

I guess his motto must be if you can’t beat em, might as well buy em.

 

[Cyrus12]

Can California support a 3rd team?

So Khosla upgraded his NFL owners membership card. Makes sense.
