re: How long does Harbaugh make Michigan wait?

Keep this rumor in mind when the 49ers lose to the Seahawks on Sunday:

quote:

---

NFL brokers a trade between the 49ers and Raiders for Harbaugh

Raiders give Harbaugh roster control

NFL allows Raiders to move to LA

Value of Raiders goes through the roof

Davis family agrees to sell the Raiders

NFL brokers an ownership deal with high profile LA based owner

NFL is rid of the Davis family forever

Harbaugh becomes the centerpiece of the "new" LA Raiders

There are three teams that can readily leave their stadium deals: Raiders, Rams and Chargers
Raiders and Rams share the Colisseum until Kroenke builds his new stadium in Inglewood. New Raiders owner brokers deal to refurb LA Colisseum. NFL gets an NFC and an AFC team in the #2 media market

Keep in mind that the most current relocation fee for one team was ~$250mm but with the new valuations for pro teams (after the Clippers sold for $2bb) the relocation for one team could be 2x that. The other owners would be getting either two relocation fees (Rams and Raiders/Chargers) or one relocation fee (Rams) and one sale fee (Raiders) to split amongst themselves
