‘Honestly, It Was A No-Brainer’: Omar Khan Fired Up By Patrick Queen Signing

Three months since signing veteran linebacker Patrick Queen to a three-year, $41 million deal, making a sizable splash in free agency, Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan is still fired up about the move.

Appearing on 93.7 The Fan’s PM Show with co-hosts Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller Thursday following the conclusion of mandatory minicamp, Khan spoke highly of the Steelers’ new signing at the inside linebacker position.

“…You can’t ever have enough good players. And we’ve had, what, eight or nine games against Patrick Queen and we’ve seen what he can do. And when there was an opportunity in free agency and we communicated with his agent and it was one of those things that we’re in a position, we have cap room to do it,” Khan said of the Queen signing, according to audio via 93.
