It was stupid of him, but he was watching players, good players, get traded, cut, and restructured left and right. A lot of what he said was probably out of fear of the unknown.

Well as I said in another thread related to this topic, he's making a lot of money for a reason. He IS a good player, and will make his money no matter if it were here or elsewhere. I don't see what there is to fear about that. And it was pretty clear, as Loomis even said as much, that this was about upgrading defense. So why would they trade Keenan? The guy just got too caught up in his emotions and forgot that the team's priority is to win, not to keep friends around to grow old together. I have no doubt it sucks to see your buddies get traded, but that's the business. It isn't new.
