TL'S TAKES: Will Queen's Gambit & the Steelers Gamble Pay Off?

To borrow from The Police, Patrick Queen signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers was like a humiliating kick in the crotch for #RavensFlock.

Most observers believed that Queen would be heading out west to reunite with the Seahawks newly appointed head coach Mike Macdonald, particularly in light of their flush salary cap position of $44.9M. But that didn’t happen.

Yup at worst it’s going to be around 57-60 mil in cap space so plenty for Tyron Smith and a CB. https://t.co/Pp8VBL6Ejj pic.twitter.com/fgPS5gSOWi

Queen was said to be seeking money in the neighborhood of Roquan Smith’s $20M per annum but the market said otherwise.
