Patrick Queen's Last Season In Pittsburgh ....... What Nobody Is Talking About

Patrick Queen called it a charade. And looking back at everything that happened this offseason, it is hard to argue with him. Pittsburgh signed Queen to a three-year forty-one million dollar deal in March of 2024, the richest free agent contract in franchise history at the time. He came in off a Pro Bowl season with the Ravens, posting one hundred and thirty-three tackles, three and a half sacks, and a career-high Pro Football Focus grade of seventy-three point zero. He was supposed to be the anchor of Pittsburgh's defense for years to come. Two seasons later the Steelers were fielding trade calls from a handful of teams including the Dallas Cowboys. Adam Schefter went on the Pat McAfee Show and said the situation continues to float out there. ESPN's Brooke Pryor confirmed a new deal is unlikely. Ray Fittipaldo of the Post-Gazette said extension talks have had zero buzz. And Queen quietly removed the Steelers from his social media bio. The Cowboys eventually acquired Dee Winters from the 49ers and walked away. The trade died. Queen stays in Pittsburgh for 2026 in the final year of his deal, counting seventeen-point-one million against the cap, with no extension on the table and no long-term future with this franchise.
