The Pittsburgh Steelers' newest linebacker shared his excitement to be in Pittsburgh and not in Baltimore.
PITTSBURGH-- The Pittsburgh Steelers gave out the richest free agent contract in team history when they signed linebacker Patrick Queen to a three-year, $41 million deal. His $13.6 million per year salary makes Queen the NFL's fifth highest-paid off-ball LB. It was a fitting move for one of the league's best middle linebackers, who can provide the Steelers with stability at the position they haven't had since Ryan Shazier was in the lineup.
"It is everything that you want," Queen said. "You have a great head coach, a defense that can ball and puts you into a situation to succeed." "It was a no-brainer. At the end of the day, money makes you happy, but you also have to win to be happy. I'd rather win and be happy than be miserable with a lot of money. It's a better atmosphere here for me," Queen said.
