Former Baltimore Ravens ILB Patrick Queen joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent this offseason, and the Ravens never seemed all too pressed about it, at least from the coaches and front office. They didn’t pick up his fifth-year option, and they paid another player at his position the largest ILB contract. This offseason, they opted to sign a different defender to a huge deal. So why do they act like they’re not going to miss an All-Pro playmaker?
“We’ve got a younger version of P.Q. [Patrick Queen] now, so that’s probably where we’re at with it”, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said yesterday, via the team’s website.
