Obviously, no movement, either way, and at the end of the day, they’ve got business to handle, I’ve got business to handle, and my business is to go out there and play the best football...

In 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers gave linebacker Patrick Queen the richest external deal in team history, signing the former Baltimore Ravens first-round pick to a three-year, $41 million deal.
