Good point, but I'd add the disclaimer that if the details of his suspension and offense turn out to show he did something very selfish and irresponsible, then it will overshadow that "convenience" to some degree.

Yes, I'd like to see him compete at LG, but I'm not optimistic about him suddenly doing a 180 degree turn on his arrogant  little "I only play LT" song and dance.

Any LT would say the same thing.  No LT wants to move to OG or RT.  There's huge amounts of money involved.

Weird, because I've heard plenty of tackles say they'd do whatever their team needed them to do.

He did make these comments when he was under the tag and wanting a long term deal that he frankly did not deserve, so money, or the pursuit of it may have affected his decision to be pompous about it. That's fine. 

The situation is different now, so it will be interesting to see if he backs down from that stance. 
He got paid more than he was worth and then got promptly suspended for being irresponsible about what he puts in his body. This would be the time for him to switch to a team first mentality. 

I just have a feeling he won't. I hope I'm wrong.
