Steelers werden Vertrag mit Patrick Queen diesen Sommer voraussichtlich nicht verlängern

Der Inside Linebacker der Pittsburgh Steelers, Patrick Queen, wird das letzte Jahr seines Dreijahresvertrags voraussichtlich ohne vorzeitige Verlängerung absolvieren. Reporter Ray Fittipaldo berichtete, dass es vor der Saison 2026 keinerlei Bewegung in dieser Angelegenheit gebe.

Fittipaldo erklärte in der „No. 1 Cochran Sports Show“ auf KDKA, dass es keinerlei Anzeichen für eine Vertragsverlängerung mit Queen gebe. Er fügte hinzu, dass er diesen Sommer kein einziges Wort über eine mögliche Einigung gehört habe. Queen unterzeichnete den Dreijahresvertrag über 41 Millionen US-Dollar bei Pittsburgh vor der Saison 2024, nachdem er zuvor vier Jahre in Baltimore verbracht hatte. Damit wurde er zum damaligen Zeitpunkt zum bestbezahlten externen Free Agent in der Geschichte der Steelers.
