Patrick Queen is heading into a contract year without a lot of drama, and so far he’s doing what he can to keep it that way.
“I’m just looking to play ball,” the Baltimore linebacker said this week. “At the end of the day, I get to go out here and play football (and) make my mark at what I want it to be. I’m not stressing anything.”
The Ravens, of course, are no stranger to uncertain contract situations, having finally signed quarterback Lamar Jackson to a new long-term deal this offseason. Queen isn’t quite the star Jackson is, but he is coming off a fine season in which he and Roquan Smith formed an impressive pairing in the middle of the defense.
