Yeah definitely don’t understand what could have happened here. All is and has been so important.

Regardless wish him well and hope he does well at Iowa if that is indeed his next stop.

I don't know. That second part of the All tweet doesn't seem to imply an NIL problem. Unless he had a deal go bad.

Maybe the medical that has been talked about?

More NIL, huh?

Hard to believe Iowa would outbid Michigan for All, but maybe? Maybe other issues as well.

I thought All was gone because he was going to enter the NFL draft. Oh well, he's gone now. All the best to Cade and All in Iowa. May be they will win the west division?

I'm no insider but I have a hard time seeing how the tea leaves indicate that

Seems more like a personal grudge/beef/medical thing rather than NIL

Complete speculation but hey isn't that what the internet's for?

I'll always appreciate Cade and All for what they meant to the 2021 team. Truly an all-time team that we'll look back on fondly decades from now. I'll never forget the Penn State catch and run. Go blue guys and good luck

Having said that- of all power 5 schools to go to...these guys pick Iowa? Not 10 years ago Iowa. But Brian Ferentz #120 offense to SP+ Iowa. I'll be pulling for them to play well the next 1-2 years but it's probably gonna be a slog over there

Announcer: it's not an NIL thing

When I saw the Erick All tweets my initial thoughts on his "unexpected" reasons were:

1. Michigan's medical staff wasn't comfortable letting him play after back surgery given they've shown to be overly cautious before (Ben St. Juste coming to mind).

2. Him not loving the how the Cade/JJ QB competition was handled, particularly since Iowa seems like his destination as well and Erick and Cade shared a great chemistry in the breakout 2021 season.

3. The NIL situation outlined here.

If it's the NIL stuff like the insiders have suggested, I can't really argue there. All deserves to be paid and if he's got a better deal at a new school, business is business. I wouldn't fault any of my co-workers if they jumped ship for a much better salary as well.

All was a true breakout star at Michigan and will be remembered fondly. For someone advertised as a jumbo WR with his share of standout catches, it was his blocking that stood out as an incredible surprise and really put him over the top. Michigan has found a groove in taking overlooked Ohio guys lately and using that as a chip on the team's shoulder, and All was one of his most memorable. Best of luck to him moving forward.

Darn. It was a great feeling having such a strong TE group, like recognizing you've got more money in the bank than you thought.

Thanks,  All and Hansen for your contributions to the team.

Best of luck to him. Erick All will always be a hero to me for that Penn State touchdown and also hurling Buckeyes into the end zone ahead of Haskins last year

So weird to have two current captains quit the team and announce transfers before the season is over. Cade I guess I understand (didn’t like the timing) but All was going to be getting starter reps. 

I hate the whole vague not everyone is what they seem.

Why can't he just say Loveland has the position covered and he's going to look for a team that needs him? Or whatever actually is the reason.  Or just not say anything negative if he cant be specific about it.

But, I wish him the best and appreciate everything he did for the team.

Sorry and sad to see Erick All leave Michigan. Michigan has been very good at developing TE these past few years. 

As stated, Loveland and with Bredeson and Hibner, Michigan should be fine.

Good luck Erick, see you in Iowa (likely landing spot)

Well, that's a bummer, but frankly I figured when he got hurt that he'd played his last game for Michigan, so it wasn't until his announcement last week that I was even thinking about him being on the team next year, and let's be real, in that time frame I haven't exactly been thinking too much about next year. Loveland is gonna be a monster but yeah I agree about kicking the tires on Schoon again. Depth is important for this physical team.

Usual suspects among hater fanbases will point to the Cade aspect as some kind of "proof" that Michigan's locker room is "divided" over Cade/JJ and how Harbaugh "betrays" players, but don't let them. It will be the same people saying back in August they'd heard "rumors" that the JJ/Cade competition had "torn the team apart" and that Michigan was likely headed for a disastrous season because of it.

Noooooooooooooooooo

Who cares go Iowa and lose 5 games. 

Good luck to Erick hope he has a great time wherever he's going and a shot at an NFL career.

Do we have room to give Davis Warren a scholarship? Get him some NIL while we're at it.

I don't really buy the NIL thing. This is complete speculation here going by things people (seemingly connected people) on twitter have said over the last few months. It seemed like Michigan's medical staff did not want All to have surgery and he decided to go forward with having the surgery anyway. All's dad responded to Don Thomas on twitter saying "you don't want the truth to come out" in regards to All's reason for transferring. My guess would be it stems from the disagreement over the the medical situation. Based purely on conjecture, I bet All and his family have the perception that Michigan didn't want him to have the surgery so they could keep him on the field this year rather than they genuinely didn't think he should have the surgery for his own sake. 

I'm sure more tea leaves with surface soon.  

I feel like these kids need someone to pull them aside and give them the old "never badmouth your previous employer in a job interview" advice.

I always thought Erick All was awesome and his TD against Penn State last year was so clutch. That said, he seems upset although is not clear what he is upset about. As a leader I would rather have someone on my team leave than create any toxic feelings in the locker room. Erick will hook up again with Cade in Iowa. I wish them both the best. Those that stay will be champions again, again, and again.

All's tweets and their timing strongly suggest that he's bitter about something. And the 'someone' add-on further implies he was told one thing and that thing changed or didn't happen. I wish him well here at Iowa but adults gotta learn to own their words and deeds.  Expressing vague bitterness and implying deception on the way out the door without details is childish behavior. He has every right to express himself and feel however he does but the team just won a B1G Championship and earned a #2 seed in the CFP. Not a good look, Bob.

Loved All as a player. The TD escort he gave Haskins in the 2021 OSU game was so cool.  

Well, shit.

Also, what the hell?

With those comments, can't help wondering what is going on.

Obviously, the dude isn't happy and is leaving because of it.  So, is that to follow Cade?  Is it that Michigan feels the injury is more major than he does?  Or vice versa?  Who knows?

That was some bs line about everything/everyone not as they seem.Sounds to me it's a veiled stab at Harbaugh and/or some key players, and is also the current sentiment of Cade his QB, who cannot say the same thing being the top guy as QB.  Am surprised there isn't more disappointment here from it.

As I was a very big supporter of Cade, and it was questionable to bench the starter who did so well, but Harbaugh was right, the better player won the job, and it sucks for Cade, it does.  I don't think this has ever happened, closest thing I can think was when Hurts got benched. If Cade has to vent thru his friends so be it. 

I hate that All is leaving. He and Loveland would be legendary duo...but alas it is not meant to be...those who stay will be champions.

Very sorry to hear Erick All is leaving Michigan.  He was a terrific player here.  Having a child is a life altering and wonderful responsibility.  Have no idea how to read tea leaves with this.  Can only wish him the very best with everything with everything. 

I'm sorry All is leaving.  We'll always have that Penn State TD to win the game last year.

I wish him well and will follow his future career with considerable interest.

My initial thought was All was basically used like a fullback to smash back DL.  Which he did incredibly well and pure guessing that led to his back injury, and probably it was expected in the future and he may not be that confident in his body yet.  In general: the Idea that going to a school with less of a run game would be beneficial to long term health.

When I heard about the surgery I was worried his football career was over (partly selfishly because I really loved how hard he played and how impressively fast he was for a big guy and partly worried about his future income prospects with a new family).

I think there are always bound to be situations in a top shelf team because of the internal competition that eventually leaves someone feeling out in the cold.

Those who stay will be champions

but it's not NIL

My Xmas wish to Santa, please fixed the NIL for the University of Michigan Athletic Department.
