The NFLPA argues for replacing artificial turf with natural grass, but proposes a targeted, one-team-at-a-time approach beginning with the Seattle Seahawks, especially if new owner Vinod Khosla pushes the change.

Tech investor Vinod Khosla leads a group buying the Seattle Seahawks for $9.612 billion; the sale proceeds, like assets from the Paul G.
