Steelers GM Khan expects Patrick Queen to contribute, despite cut rumors

Steelers GM Omar Khan addressed rumors surrounding LB Patrick Queen, stating, "It’s been a good experience with Pat," and that he expects Queen to contribute. Queen, who signed a 3-year, $41 million deal in 2024 (the team's largest external free-agent deal), recorded 129 tackles in his 2024 Pro Bowl season and 120 tackles in 2025, but has faced criticism for inconsistency. While cutting him would free up $12.5 million in cap space, it would also create a hole at MIKE linebacker.
