Why it matters: The Seahawks could fetch as much as $9 billion, according to Semafor, which would set a record sale price for an NFL franchise.
The team is currently owned by the estate of late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, which is carrying out his wishes to sell his sports holdings and direct the proceeds to philanthropy.
Boehly has approached potential partners including Guggenheim Partners CEO Mark Walter and Middle East investors, Semafor reports.
What's next: Formal bids are expected in the coming weeks.
Semafor reports that Indian steel executive Aditya Mittal, former Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla are also exploring bids.
