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.

Would a player ever really publicly decide to just not play though in what is essentially a new contract year that he'll be missing a third of?

I guess he could feign injury like Ramsey and just take his chances next year after being moved or cut?

I wonder if that happens if they don't try to find a trade spot immediately for whatever they could get (like a 4th rounder)?
