Steelers Trade Talks: Patrick Queen on the Move?

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 10th. The Pittsburgh Steelers are exploring trade options for inside linebacker Patrick Queen. No deal is close, but talks are underway, possibly with an NFC East team Mike Dallas for a mid-round draft pick such as a fifth-rounder. Earlier this week, reports highlighted the Steelers interest in swapping Queen out. They recently resigned Cole Holcomb to a two-year contract and met with top linebacker prospects at the 2026 NFL Combine. Queen joined Pittsburgh on a three-year deal, but has not matched his standout play from Baltimore, where he earned second-team All-Pro honors. He has started all 17 games over two seasons, yet his performance has fallen short of expectations. Heading into the final year of his contract, Queen carries a $17 million cap hit for next season. Moving him would free up space to chase free agents like Leo Chanel or Caden Ellis or Invest Heavily in the draft. For now, the talks remain fluid, with nothing imminent.
