Todd Boehly is “weighing a bid” for the Seahawks, a deal that would add an NFL team to a stable that includes stakes in the Lakers, Dodgers, Chelsea and other pro sports teams, according to Liz Hoffman of SEMAFOR. Sources said that Boehly has “approached potential partners” including Guggenheim Partners CEO Mark Walter, with whom he jointly owns the Lakers and Chelsea, and Middle East investors about “teaming up on a bid for the Seahawks.” The sources added that the Seahawks could “fetch as much as” $9B. Hoffman notes that would top the $6B sale of the Commanders in 2023 and rival the $10B sale of the Lakers last year for the biggest sale of any sports team. Sources said that formal bids are “expected to be submitted in the next few weeks.” Celtics Alternate Governor Aditya Mittal and minority owner & CEO Wyc Grousbeck are reportedly also “preparing a bid,” while venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has “also been interested” (SEMAFOR, 6/9).
