Kind of like the Browns situation when they moved to Baltimore. I would be happy with that! Restart the 49ers in a few years with Eddie D as the owner hopefully. Holy crap we agreed on something AGAIN! 
Eddie D's success brought us the CAP which was meant to stop the stockpiling of players that the 49ers were famous for.
Another thing he'd have to struggle with is not having a Bill Walsh and Staff to build the team.
Not saying he wouldn't do better than the Yorks, but it's harder now to get on top and stay there like the 49ers did in the past.
a little quote from an article earlier this month on Eddie D
“I talk to a lot of league people and they’ve urged me to come back in. I’ve had a group for 10 years or so that would look at buying a franchise. I’m pursuing all different options and there are a number of teams that could possibly be for sale. I’m in open discussions with some. I don’t need to own 100 percent but I would be the managing general partner.”
The no-brainer choice would be to buy the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the early 2000s, he had people make inquiries with the Glazer family on his behalf but nothing ever materialized.
Would he ever return to the 49ers?
“I don’t think that would ever happen,” said DeBartolo. “That would have to be initiated by my sister’s family. There has been no discussion.”
