    NFL Approves Record $9.6 Billion Sale of Seahawks to Vinod Khosla

    The NFL owners have unanimously approved the record-breaking $9.6 billion sale of the Seattle Seahawks to an ownership group led by Vinod Khosla. The Khosla family, which includes Vinod and his wife Neeru, will become the new controlling owners of the Seahawks, pending the divestment of their minority stake in the San Francisco 49ers. The sale price sets a new record for an NFL franchise and is more than $3.5 billion higher than the previous change-of-control record set by Washington's sale in 2023. The Seahawks, who are coming off a successful season as the defending Super Bowl champions, will transition to new ownership under the Khosla family.

    Jets Eyeing Mike Tomlin as Next Head Coach

    The New York Jets are reportedly exploring the possibility of hiring former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin for the 2027 season. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports that Jets owner Woody Johnson is 'doing his homework' on Tomlin and that the Jets are considered front-runners for his services. Tomlin, who resigned from the Steelers this past spring after 19 years at the helm, is expected to be one of the top coaching candidates next year. If hired, Tomlin's arrival could potentially lead to the Jets pursuing two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, with whom Tomlin shares a deep mutual respect. However, securing Tomlin's services may not be easy, as reports suggest he would demand an ownership stake in the team.
