New Seahawks owners plan few immediate changes after taking over Super Bowl champs
Vinod Khosla said the new owners will rely on John Schneider and Mike Macdonald after paying a league-record $9.612 billion for the team.
- The Khosla family took over the Seattle Seahawks in a league-record $9.612 billion deal, officially introduced Wednesday ahead of the team's season opener against the New England Patriots at Lumen Field.
- Following the team's Super Bowl victory in February, the Paul Allen Estate initiated the sale process; the Khosla family's interest deepened after attending a playoff game in Seattle earlier this year.
- Chair Vinod Khosla announced the ownership group will avoid interference, delegating on-field decisions to general manager John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald while emphasizing his strategy of "handing them the baton."
- Plans for 2027 include reintroducing white throwback uniforms, confirmed by Neal Khosla, the vice chair; ownership changes remain minimal as the family prioritizes collaborative leadership with existing management.
- With a lease extending through 2032 at Lumen Field, the franchise maintains stability; the 71-year-old Vinod Khosla promised "brutal honesty" rather than "hypocritical politeness," though earning fan trust will require time.
