PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen revealed the Baltimore Ravens didn't offer him a contract when he hit free agency earlier this year.
Queen, who signed a three-year, $41 million deal with the Steelers in March, was selected by the Ravens in the first round of the 2020 draft.
Baltimore declined Queen's fifth-year option last year and opted instead to sign fellow linebacker Roquan Smith to a monster five-year, $100 million contract. When given another opportunity to retain Queen after his Pro Bowl 2023 season, the Ravens passed again.
