After more than 20 years as the Boston Celtics' majority owner, Wyc Grousbeck is apparently looking to pivot from the NBA to the NFL.
Sportico reported on Thursday that Grousbeck and Celtics investor Aditya Mittal are leading a bid to purchase the Seattle Seahawks. Mittal, a member of one of India’s richest families, contributed roughly $1 billion when a group led by Bill Chisholm bought the Celtics from Grousbeck for $6.1 billion last summer.
Now, Grousbeck and Mittal both have their sights set on the NFL and the reigning Super Bowl champions, who beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX in February.

Grousbeck already won two NBA championships with the Celtics, but now he may be after a different kind of trophy.
Per Sportico's report, Mittal and Grousbeck were the only signatures on the letter of interest submitted to Allen & Company, which was hired to handle the sale. Since Mittal resides in London, Grousbeck would live in Seattle part-time and essentially run the franchise.
Grousbeck and Mittal were the first bidders publicly identified. However, they figure to have plenty of competition. Sportico also reported on Thursday that Vinod Khosla, a notable West Coast venture capitalist and investor in the San Francisco 49ers, is also preparing a bid for the Seahawks.
