Steelers LB Patrick Queen<\/a> revealed during a recent interview that he has had contract discussions with the team amidst rumors that he could be traded or released this offseason.<\/p>\n

\"Patrick<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw the whole charade that went on all this offseason, but I mean it\u2019s talks. Obviously, no movement either way,\u201d Queen told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/a>. \u201cSo, at the end of the day, [the Steelers] have business to handle. I\u2019ve got business handled at home, and my business is to go out there and play the best football I can and put myself in a good position and put our team in a good position so that we both get successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of it was true, but some of it was extended truth, just people rambling and stuff,\u201d Queen added. \u201cThat\u2019s what you can have with social media nowadays. You know, everybody wants the first say whatever happens \u2014 and wants to hope to be right. [There were] very [few] facts out there. I\u2019ve got a good amount of money coming in this year. So at the end of the day, I couldn\u2019t care less. If they do want to extend, cool. If not, cool. At the end of the day, it\u2019s a business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queen, 26, was a one-year starter at LSU. The Ravens selected him at No. 28 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Queen signed a four-year, $12,161,670 rookie contract that includes a $6,404,851 signing bonus. The Ravens declined his fifth-year option which would have cost the Ravens $12.7 million fully guaranteed for the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

He played out his rookie contract and was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career when he signed a three-year, $41 million deal with Pittsburgh ahead of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Queen appeared in all 17 games for the Steelers and recorded 120 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, one sack, a forced fumble, one recovery and four pass defenses.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have more on Queen as the news is available.\u00a0<\/p>\n
