Just a few weeks after stating at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine that the inside linebacker position was one that the team needed to address, Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan struck quickly before the official start of free agency, landing arguably the best linebacker in a deep free-agent class in former Baltimore Ravens standout Patrick Queen.
Khan and the Steelers reportedly reeled in Queen on a three-year, $41 million deal, simultaneously snagging him from their AFC North rival Ravens Tuesday afternoon and plugging a major hole on the roster.
In recent years, after the Ravens acquired Roquan Smith via trade from the Chicago Bears, Queen took off.
