NFL Writer Urges Steelers To Cut Pro Bowl Defensive Player This Offseason
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to undergo several changes this offseason, and many of those adjustments could occur on defense.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down from his position following the season. Known for his defensive mindset, Tomlin brought in several players to fit his defensive scheme, and some of them may soon be on the move.
NFL.com’s Matt Okada suggested that the Steelers should consider cutting linebacker Patrick Queen during the upcoming offseason.
“The Steelers are in good cap shape, so this might not be a necessary move, but cutting Queen before June 1 would save Pittsburgh $13.3 million to help build an offense to new head coach Mike McCarthy’s specifications,” Okada wrote on Monday. “Pittsburgh could instead/also cut Jalen Ramsey for $19.5 million in savings, but his move to safety earned him a Pro Bowl nod and his leadership on the defense might earn him the Pittsburgh roster spot over Queen.”
Queen has been in the NFL since 2020, spending his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before moving to the Steelers in 2024.
The 26-year-old linebacker got off to a fantastic start with the Steelers in 2024, earning a spot in the Pro Bowl. However, this season he has experienced a slight decline in performance.
Pittsburgh may need to part ways with Queen’s contract to potentially bring in more offensive support this offseason, including the addition of a free-agent quarterback.

Galatasaray knuste Juventus i mesterligaen
Galatasaray lå under ved pause, men vendte til 5-2-seier over Juventus i første utslagsrunde i mesterligaen og tok et langt steg mot åttedelsfinale.
Teun Koopmeiners vendte til 2-1-ledelse for gjestene etter Gabriel Saras tidlige ledermål for Galatasaray, men etter pause gikk alt galt for Luciano Spallettis lag i Istanbul.
Noa Lang og Davinson Sanchez ga hjemmelaget ledelsen 3-2 med hvert sitt mål før Juventus-innbytter Juan Cabal ble utvist med to gule kort. Mot ti gjestespillere økte Lang og innbytter Sacha Boey ledelsen hver sin gang.
– Jeg er glad for å ha scoret to mål. Vi spilte en god kamp mot et stort lag, men dette er ikke over ennå. Vi må prestere i Torino også, sa Lang til uefa.com.
