Exit Meeting: ILB Patrick Queen
Experience: 6 Years
Patrick Queen signed a three-year deal with the Steelers two seasons ago—will he finish that contract, or even sign an extension? After posting two straight 120-tackle seasons, he has established himself as the voice of the defense. It’s a role he had to adapt to, having had Roquan Smith for much of his time in Baltimore.
The Steelers signed Queen to a three-year, $41 million contract, averaging $13.67 million per season. In the final year of his deal in 2026, he is set to earn $13.
