Patrick Queen: Ravens Declining 5th-Year Contract Option Was 'Blessing in Disguise'

Patrick Queen says he isn't worried about the Baltimore Ravens declining his fifth-year option.

"It's a blessing in disguise, really," Queen told reporters Thursday, per NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "You see guys go both sides of it and get paid either way. At the end of the day, I'm just focused on being the best teammate I can be, being the best player that I can be and just going out there and proving myself. Going out there and playing the game that I love to play at a high level."

Queen's fifth-year option would have locked him in at $12.
