The Seattle Seahawks have been frequently mentioned as a potential landing spot for Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen. The rumors have intensified since the Seahawks hired former Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald.
With Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks both hitting free agency, there could be room for Seattle to sign Queen. Bleacher Report’s Mitchel Milani predicts the Seahawks will sign Queen in Macdonald’s first major move since joining Seattle.
“The middle of their defense could use work,” Milani detailed in a February 14, 2024 Bleacher Report live stream. “I think Patrick Queen comes in, he’s familiar with the system.
“Could immediately contribute, immediately lead the way. Become a leader for Mike Macdonald on his side of the ball. It makes a lot of sense. It’s a good fit.”
Brooks will forever be linked to Queen as the Seahawks opted to use the No. 27 pick in the 2020 NFL draft on the defender. Seattle selected Brooks one pick ahead of Queen who the Ravens drafted at No. 28.
Could the Seahawks try to pair both together given the linebackers are free agents? Queen could come with a hefty price tag in the coming months.
Spotrac projects Queen’s market value to be a five-year, $92.6 million deal. This would give the defender an average annual salary of $18.5 million, a high number for a linebacker in today’s NFL. Queen just completed a four-year, $12.1 million rookie contract.
