Financing details are not disclosed. NFL ownership rules cap debt and require at least 30% equity for the control owner, and Khosla would need to sell his stake in the San Francisco 49ers if the deal closes. The sale follows a rare market move for NFL teams and comes with the Seahawks’ estimated value cited around $6.59 billion.
