Ravens All-Pro Kyle Hamilton posts hilarious meme about loss of Patrick Queen

The Ravens lost free agent LB Patrick Queen to the Steelers, and their All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton got a little choked up.

The Baltimore Ravens lost free agent inside linebacker Patrick Queen to their rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, and their All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton isn’t too happy.

Hamilton still mustered a little humor, tweeting a Vince McMahon meme with: “Dad, didn’t you play with @Patrick queen_ in Baltimore?”

The classic meme is a scene from the 2020 documentary “Undertaker: The Last Ride,” in which McMahon gets choked up while discussing his friendship with wrestler The Undertaker.

Once official, Queen will be a welcome addition to a Steelers defense that has struggled with the inside linebacker spot since Ryan Shazier‘s unfortunate retirement.

The Ravens first-round draft pick has started all 67 games, amassing four interceptions, 15 passes defended, five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries for 58 yards and a score, 13.5 sacks, 454 tackles (37 for loss) and 33 quarterback hits.

Queen earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023.

Patrick Queen, reported target for Panthers, expected to sign with Steelers

Patrick Queen, who has been linked to the Panthers over the past 24 hours, is expected to sign with the Steelers.

You can throw away all those Queen/Queen City puns now.

As first reported by ESPN’s Marcus Spears, free-agent linebacker Patrick Queen has agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The second-team All-Pro defender is expected to sign a three-year, $41 million pact with his former AFC North foes.

Queen had been linked to the Carolina Panthers over the past 24 hours, beginning with a nod from Bleacher Report NFL insider Jordan Schultz on Monday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show. Joe Person of The Athletic backed up Schultz’s reporting, tweeting on Tuesday that Carolina was “in the running” for the 24-year-old.

Before trading two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns to the New York Giants yesterday afternoon, the Panthers failed to retain do-it-all linebacker Frankie Luvu. Luvu is expected to sign a three-year, $36 million deal with the Washington Commanders.

Had the Panthers been able to nab Queen, the loss of Luvu would’ve been much easier to swallow. Alas, they’ve been left with just another sour taste.

Steelers poach free agent ILB Patrick Queen from Ravens

The Steelers are getting a much-needed boost after agreeing to terms with Ravens LB Patrick Queen.

In the Steelers’ biggest move since the Russell Wilson news broke on Sunday night, ESPN’s Marcus Spears reports that Patrick Queen is heading to Pittsburgh.

The Pro Bowl inside linebacker plans to sign a three-year, $41 million contract, which should become official at the start of free agency on Wednesday.

The Ravens selected Queen in the first round (No. 28) of the 2020 NFL draft, and he’s been nothing short of spectacular since.

Queen has started all 67 games, amassing four interceptions, 15 passes defended, five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries for 58 yards and a score, 13.5 sacks, 454 tackles (37 for loss) and 33 quarterback hits.

Pittsburgh needed an inside guy and they got him.

Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen to sign a three-year, $41M deal with rival Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are taking Patrick Queen away from the Baltimore Ravens with a three-year, $41 million deal in free agency

According to ESPN’s Marcus Spears, Patrick Queen is following Geno Stone’s path, taking his talents to another AFC North city after agreeing to a 3-year, $41 million deal.

The running mate for Roquan Smith, Queen made his first Pro Bowl this season after logging 125 tackles (78 solos) and matching a career-high with six passes defended. He also added 3.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, one interception, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery for the best defense in the league.

Queen is the only NFL defender to have produced at least 400 tackles (445), ten sacks (13.5), and ten takeaways (four interceptions and six fumble recoveries) since entering the league in 2020.

He’ll pair with T.J. Watt to help stop the newest Ravens running back, Derrick Henry.

NFL insider: Panthers are suitors for free-agent LB Patrick Queen

Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz mentioned the Panthers as one of two potential suitors for free-agent LB Patrick Queen.

Monday’s free-agent frenzy swept up a fan favorite in Frankie Luvu, who is expected to sign with the Washington Commanders on a three-year, $36 million deal. But while the loss would be a pretty hurtful one for the Carolina Panthers, there may be an awfully solid contingency plan in place.

During his spot on The Pat McAfee Show this afternoon, Bleacher Report NFL insider Jordan Schultz mentioned the Panthers as one of two potential suitors for another free-agent backer in Patrick Queen. Here’s the snippet:

Queen is one of the top defenders out on the open market. The former first-round pick put forth a career season in 2023—as he earned second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections for his 133-tackle campaign.

As Schultz notes, the Seattle Seahawks look to be in on the standout 24-year-old. The fact that they’ve hired his defensive coordinator from the Baltimore Ravens, Mike Macdonald, as their new head coach also might make them the favorites for his services.

But the Panthers, who are out to find some dawgs this offseason, seem to be lurking.

Ravens players, fans react to Geno Stone agreeing to a 2-year deal with rival Bengals

Baltimore Ravens, fans, players and local media reacted to Geno Stone agreeing to a two-year, $15 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals

Geno Stone has gone from a beloved Ravens safety to an “OPP” after agreeing to a two-year, $15 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, an AFC North rival.

Stone will have a chance to become a full-time starter for the first time in his career, seeing his former team twice a year during intense, divisional matchups.

The news is coming in fast, and the reactions to Stone’s deal have social media in an uproar.

Might a 9-time Pro Bowler be an option for the Commanders?

Bobby Wagner isn’t returning to Seattle, making the Commanders a possibility for the future Hall of Famer.

News broke Sunday that a 9-time Pro Bowler and 6-time All-Pro linebacker is not returning to his team.

Bobby Wagner is reportedly going to test the free agent market, not returning to his longtime NFL home, the Seattle Seahawks. Wagner played one season with the Rams, and his other 11 NFL seasons were spent in Seattle.

Wagner is now an age-33 linebacker. Consequently, this Washington ownership group would wisely not invest in a long-term deal with a veteran such as Wagner. However, one can imagine the Commanders pursuing Wagner for a short-term reunion.

That is, a reunion with new Commanders head coach Dan Quinn and new linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. Wagner played for Quinn while Quinn served as the Seahawks defensive coordinator in the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Norton coached the linebackers during the 2010-2014 seasons. Following his three seasons as the Raiders defensive coordinator, Norton returned to the Seahawks as their defensive coordinator for the 2018-2021 seasons, all of which saw Wagner earn Pro Bowl honors with Seattle.

It is no secret the Commanders have been weak at linebacker and signing Wagner for the short-term could provide the defense leadership and also a younger, drafted linebacker a mentor as well.

Should the Commanders choose to pursue a younger linebacker, such as the Ravens’ Patrick Queen, they would attempt to sign him on a longer-term deal, seeing that Queen will only turn 25 in August.
