According to ESPN’s Marcus Spears, Patrick Queen has agreed to a three-year, $41 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Queen is the second Ravens defender to leave Baltimore for an AFC North rival during the first two days of the “legal tampering” period of free agency.
The running mate for Roquan Smith, Queen made his first Pro Bowl this season after logging 125 tackles (78 solos) and matching a career high with six passes defended. He also added 3.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery for the best defense in the league.

Queen is the only NFL defender to have produced at least 400 tackles (with 445), double-digit sacks (13.5) and double-digit takeaways (four interceptions and six fumble recoveries) since 2020.
He’ll pair with T.J. Watt to help stop the newest Ravens running back, Derrick Henry.
