Will ILB Patrick Queen Be the Steelers’ Defensive Savior?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to formally confirm the acquisition of former Baltimore Ravens inside linebacker Patrick Queen, but the outcome appears to be a mere formality. It’s anticipated that Queen will undergo his physical examination, potentially as early as today, before putting pen to paper on his contract and subsequently addressing the media in a press conference. While the deal remains pending until the contract is officially signed, there’s little doubt regarding Queen’s commitment given the Steelers’ track record under Coach Tomlin.

The real inquiry lies not in the signing itself but in Queen’s ability to fulfill the expectations outlined in his contract. Despite speculation that he could have commanded a higher price on the market, the Steelers have opted to offer him the most lucrative contract ever extended to an external free agent in the franchise’s history.
