Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/patrick-queen-95537/">Patrick Queen</a> did not hold back when discussing his split with the Baltimore Ravens. While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Queen was asked how things ended with the Ravens, a team that drafted him in the first round back in 2020.



“I wasn’t wanted back,” Queen said four days before the Steelers face the Ravens, <a href="https://x.com/MikeDeFabo/status/1856786292878586081">per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.</a> “I didn’t get the offer back, and it is definitely kind of upsetting being there for four years and the bond that you grow with your teammates and stuff. The first few months, you definitely go through those feelings.

“Now after playing games, you just go by and just want to win games. You want to win with your teammates, your new teammates; you want to bond with those guys. Everything that you do as far as the organization that you’re at now. I will have feelings. Obviously anybody in my position would this week, so I’m just taking one day at a time, whatever happens, happens.”



Queen was selected to the Pro Bowl and the All-Pro Second Team last year. But the Ravens declined his fifth-year option last year and opted instead to sign linebacker <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/roquan-smith-102420/">Roquan Smith</a> to a five-year, $100 million contract. The Ravens decided not to re-sign Queen which led to him signing a three-year, $41 million deal with the Ravens in March. Through nine games this year, Queen has registered 62 tackles, four tackles for loss and three passes defended.

Speaking more about the Ravens, Queen said it took him a while to process his feelings about not returning to Baltimore. “Even though I signed and stuff, you obviously still go through those feelings. Just knowing that a long four years that you put in blood, sweat and tears over there. The guys that you bonded with, build close relationships with, even the training staff to the strength staff, everybody that you built a relationship with,” he said, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42372786/steelers-patrick-queen-says-wanted-back-ravens">per Brooke Pryor of ESPN</a>.



“You put your body on the line every single time that you went out there, even when you could barely even move your leg or whatever the injury it may have been. Just go out there and try to do your best for that team. I definitely did feel a type of way after the whole situation, but I’m over it now.”
