Trade buzz over Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen has cooled off after ramping up early this week. Still, it’s a worthwhile discussion. Is Pittsburgh better off keeping Queen for 2026 or trading him and starting fresh?
Below, I’m presenting both sides of the argument. The case to keep him. And the case to dump him.

Queen and the Steelers’ defense did a terrible job communicating in 2024, Queen’s first year in the system and wearing the green dot. A concern that followed Queen from Baltimore was his ability to be the defensive play-caller and perform well individually.
