think Michigan keeps Underwood at 3.5 million per year next year ?

The internet was saying he had a 4 year 8 figure deal, so I'm not sure how much he would fetch and whether Michigan set up his contract to get the difference. That said, it solves multiple problems for all sides if he leaves.
Fresh start somewhere else, and he maybe performs better having learned from mistakes at UM
The team that takes a chance on him is likely to pay decent $ based on potential
He becomes the fall guy for the program's poor season
Between that and the rumor mill, I'd bet he's gone.

I thought I recall it being 4 years $10M.

If this is true, how completely classless. You’re still in the middle of your season and you get benched for part of one game and your response is to go team shopping? If I were the coach, I would not even let him dress the rest of the season, let alone play.

It's his agent. His agent wouldn't be doing his job if he wasn't working in the best interest of his client.

I'll also guess the Michigan coaches have no problem with this, they want to dump him and should want to dump him.

Agree. Ore lost both their coordinators this past off-season and promoted two guys on staff who have never held those jobs before. I think that has as much do with it as the QB situation, if not more.

Heck yeah. Going from coordinators operating at the head coach level to newbies is a massive change. No different going from a C-level exec who is capable of running a company to someone just promoted to that level. Now maybe you can question lannings judgement in going with newbies vs hiring someone proven. They had the money to do that.
