'Nobody Cares Like Him!' Ravens LB Patrick Queen Says Mike Macdonald Best For Seattle
The Baltimore Ravens could be losing linebacker Patrick Queen in free agency this offseason. And if there's one place that's the favorite to land him, it's Seattle.
Seattle also has its share of pending free agents, including linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner. Queen is already on record saying what a fan of his former defensive boss, Mike Macdonald, he is.
Macdonald was hired to replace Pete Carroll as the head coach in Seattle recently and Queen stated what a great hire that is.
“I think he is the best candidate out there right now,” Queen told reporters on January 29. “I don’t think nobody does [it] like him. Nobody cares like him. Nobody will do what he does. He will not rest until he has everything right.
“So, whoever gets him, if he leaves, probably’s getting like the best candidate out there,” Queen added. “The guy’s all-around just the best person I’ve ever been around. Coach wise, person wise and just he really cares. He truly cares about the players, the people around the organization and the fans.”
According to Spotrac.com, Queen's projected market value is a five-year, $92.6 million contract. Queen's rookie deal was a four-year, $12.1 million contract.
Queen tallied a career-high 133 tackles with nine for loss, six quarterback hits, 3.5 sacks, one interception, six passes broken up and one forced fumble in his 17 starts in Baltimore last season. His loss would be a big one for the Ravens.
