A very basic "seeking a trade" tweet. Jonah has not made any negative comments whatsoever. "Arrogant and delusional" simply does not make any sense to me.
To clarify, he has every right to request a trade.
He is arrogant and delusional for thinking he deserves to still be the LT after his mediocre at best first 4 seasons at the spot and that he was beyond being replaced. He did make comments in an interview that he was "blindsided" by the signing of Brown Jr. How could he be surprised given that he just lead the entire league in sacks given up - shocking given that he once again missed games due to injury. Thus, to me, he's delusional or at least jaded in his performance/career so far.
Happy players/selfless players aren't making a trade request because of a position switch.
That's why I said he has every right to ask to be moved... but doing so instead of moving to a position he would probably be better at is arrogant. Especially given that his teammates and culture of the locker room seems to have guys willing to do simmilar things to support and help the team.
I understand people supporting Jonah and his right as a man to pursue his goals. I support that, too. His goal of being the starting LT if the Bengals didn't pan out. I just think this is a selfish, jaded look on his part. He also has every right to be those last 2 things, too. That doesn't mean I agree with his choices.
