 I think Patrick Queen pretty much just confirmed that he is not gonna be with the Baltimore Ravens next year and you know what so you can develop your own interpretation of what he had to say let's have a listen I think I try to do too much myself, too much thinking myself or what other things but a lot of words start happening and stuff so I'm just praying on it to God whatever happens How pleased are you with, I mean you had a great season you know and played at such a high level how pleased are you to do whether that kind of season you know obviously I try to hear I wish I could be a little bit better with like a turn or something yesterday I think that's my only regret is not be able to get the ball in these ones but give my officers another chance so I feel great for the whole season up to that point yesterday and it's unfortunate what happened but it's definitely been great Patrick, how did you and you and Roquon have been so dynamic as linebackers the last season to have and what about having Roquon and his team change your career and is it kind of hard to kind of think of it up here in the search team when it feels like you two found something You definitely taught me a lot, you taught me how to lead, you taught me how to, you know, be easy as it's supposed to be on the field and they all took the field as well There's just so much that you taught me man, I hit the ball for days bro, just a great dude, great guy, great teammate, everything that you wanted me to and you know it's definitely stuff that I'll take with me for the rest of my life even if I'm not here then you taught me that the dude was the reason why he got what he got and why he's here so there's all the respect you have Patrick you're one of the many creatives that have, you guys talked about how this team could look at a lot of different issues Yeah, that's the whole talk, that's the one we wanted to get to where we wanted to get to so we definitely talked about it already and everybody already knew so that's one of the biggest things in life Patrick given that, how can it take for you to get over and especially give an answer to these opportunities They've run it a whole else, you know, just, you know, just like that honestly, just too close So that was a lot to unpack in that clip and real quick shout out to Carita C. Park, she has been covering the Ravens for a while and she is where we got that video from so thank you for everything that you do with covering the team But with Patrick Queen, he said a lot in that clip, he talked about how he has to do what's best for him and his family and that is a dead giveaway right there that is about that bread, it's about the money He is trying to go get paid and make a very handsome amount of money and we cannot be mad at him at all for that Because we know that the NFL stands for not for long and with Patrick Queen he's had a four year career thus far, a lot of people can't say that, a lot of people don't even make it out after one year NFL is the top one percent, these are the best players in the world so not only has he had a four year career thus far that's getting ready to continue But while he's in the one percent that actually makes it to the NFL, he made all pro honors as well So his bag got even more fatter man, it's like he's gonna make a lot of money But something that he said, he talked about while, he said he gotta do what's best for him and his family But he also said that the Ravens, they gotta do what's best for them too And again, another dead giveaway like, hey, I get it, it's about the business, I gotta take care of me, Ravens gotta take care of them He knows, he gets it, he gets it, Patrick Queen has been in this business for four years and he understands it Like when he had his fifth year option declined, that's why I really got a big time respect for Patrick Queen how he handled literally everything He had his fifth year option declined He saw the Baltimore Ravens trade for Roquan Smith and then after they trade, they paid a Roquan Smith in the same year that they traded for Roquan Smith Gave him a hundred million dollar contract and you sitting there like, man, I've been here since 2020, I was a first round pick What's going on here? They just bring this guy in and they pay him and like, hey, what's up? And again, they declined his fifth year option and then they went and drafted Trenton Simpson So Patrick Queen right then and there, he could have been like, you know what, I went out, get me out of here, trade me And he would have had a million different reasons why that would have been acceptable from his point of view Like, hey, no, trade me, I don't want to be here anymore, I don't want to be on this team, they don't value me, let me go somewhere else where I'm more appreciated But he ain't do that, well, at least not that we heard of, but he ain't do that Patrick Queen not only stayed with the Baltimore Ravens And then I remember even when they drafted Trenton Simpson, I remember him tweeting, he tweeted, sheesh So he knew, he knows the game, he understands the business, but you ain't see Patrick Queen walking around powering You ain't him impressors walking around, whining, you ain't see him in any interviews, walking around complaining Nope, he just came through and he played his game and he had a phenomenal season this year And he earned himself a lot of money And again, for somebody to have gone through all of that at the workplace, through all those little trials and tribulations at the workplace All the stuff that's right in your face, too And to show out like he did this year, that says a lot about Patrick Queen Something else that he talked about, he was asked, what did you take from Roquon Smith? What did you learn from Roquon Smith? And he talked about a lot of things in past tense He talked about how Roquon Smith taught him a lot, but he said he taught him how to be a leader See, that answer is great, because Patrick Queen, while that I'm sure that is true Patrick Queen is also positioning himself to be a leader on whoever his next team is Because you know that they're watching, they watch all that stuff, they listen to all that stuff, they pay attention to all of that stuff So what he's doing is letting them know like, hey, he showed me how to be a leader I'm ready to lead whatever team is next for me I'm ready to step up and be that guy for wherever I end up being next Now, with Patrick Queen, with him expected to be going from the Baltimore Ravens It's not official yet, but yeah, we pretty much feel like it's going there I looked around to see what some fans were saying about PQ, how they feel about a Patrick Queen And I saw somebody say, Chargers fans said, time out, Patrick Queen is a free agent If the Ravens don't pay him, then the Chargers should try everything So if that ended up being the case, he would go from one hardball to another Then this one said, in my opinion, the best offseason to get the Raiders in the playoffs Resigned Josh Jacob to a team-friendly deal, trade for Justin Fields Draft Newton with the first, signed Patrick Queen So Raiders fans interested in bringing Patrick Queen aboard, but this one right here This is the most interesting one to me, this came from Ike Packers podcast He said, will Patrick Queen take Devondre Campbell's spot on the Packers? Patrick Queen is a game-changing linebacker, free agent who gets sex, force fumbles And makes the occasional interception He runs a 4-5-40 yard dash, and he will be 25 years old, entering the 2024 season So, with that being said, the reason why I say that's the most interesting to me Is because of this, and this is the report from Tom Pelicero He said, the Packers requested to interview Ravens inside linebacker coach Zach Orr For Green Bay's defensive coordinator position, per source Orr is a former Ravens linebacker who is projected as a defensive coordinator very soon Orr has been a close lieutenant to Mike McDonald in Baltimore So imagine that, because you know that a lot of times in free agency If a certain coach leaves, if a position coach leaves and goes to another team Players in that position, a lot of times they often follow So, could we see Patrick Queen with the Green Bay Packers this off-season? Hey, it's a thought, it's a thought, and it could end up being a reality Now, speaking of coaches that could possibly be on the move Because Ravens, again, this should have been the year And that's something that Patrick Queen talked about They talked that they asked him how different could the Baltimore Ravens look next year And Patrick Queen said, that's why we wanted to win at all this year That's why we felt like this should have been the year Because things could be a lot different on this team And that's true, because their staff, not only is the personnel going to be a lot different But their coaching staff could be a lot different too This also from Tom Pelicero said, Ravens, Y-Receivers Coach Greg Lewis will interview today for the Saints Offensive coordinator job, per source Lewis, the former NFL Y-Receiver Won two Super Bowls on Andy Reed's staff in Kansas City Before joining Baltimore this past season So, another coach that could end up being out of there Now, another one, and this one also from the Packers This came from Ian Rappaport, he said The Packers requested to speak with Ravens secondary coach Denard Wilson for their vacant defensive coordinator job Source said, he's also interviewing with the Titans today For their defensive coordinator job And the Rams and Giants have talked to him as well Ravens staff is, again, nothing official yet They're getting a lot of interest A whole lot of interest, understandably Because, yeah, they were a great team this year They were a phenomenal team this year And then last but not least, while those guys got interest This one became official This came from Adam Schefter said, Chargers Finalized the deal to hire Joe Hortese as their new general manager Late, late last night Per sources, the deal is now official Hortese goes from one hardball to another And Joe Hortese, I remember him from every The Ravens presses The end of the year presses He'd be sending them right up there With EDC, with Bishadi, with hardball He would be right there in that seat And he would have answered a lot of the questions too So he obviously was a very high ranking Front office person with the Baltimore Ravens But now, he gets to flap his wings With the Chargers So, congrats to him But, back to Patrick Queen I feel like we might as well give our early congrats to him Because I just feel like that is a wrap for him It's been a great time Great four years watching Patrick Queen Just really watching his growth He came and he's still super young He's still super, super young But he came in as a young dude At Inside Linebacker And this was a new position for him Because at LSU He was more so the Robin instead of Batman And him being a starting Inside Linebacker His last year at LSU was pretty new for him So he was fresh But then it became a first round draft pick By the Baltimore Ravens To have to step into that That's a lot, that's a lot of pressure as we know Because no matter who you are No matter where you're from If you're Inside Linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens Especially as a first round draft pick There is so much pressure on you Because, sorry, Ray Lewis Ray Lewis, and it's not fair To any of these Inside Linebackers But that's just what it is Ray Lewis, by his play He puts so much pressure on every Inside Linebacker For the Baltimore Ravens, every single one And I'm C.J. Mosey There's a lot of pressure on him Patrick Queen, a lot of pressure on him And it just, it continued But Roquan Smith, a lot of people have compared Roquan Smith to Ray Lewis With his play, and then with his attitude as well But anyway, Patrick Queen He started off a bit shaky There were a lot of naysayers and whatnot There was a lot of people who just doubted Patrick Queen It was like, ah, nah, this guy, he ain't it But he really started to turn that corner Especially in his, in the second year he did But it's definitely in his third year too And he was really playing a whole lot better He was playing with a lot more confidence And he talked about it too I remember he talked about how he used to try to do everybody else's job Instead of just focusing on his And he felt like that kind of slowed him down That kind of messed him up But year three was a big year for him And I know his parents even talked about it They said, every year three for Patrick Queen That's when he really turns the corner That's when he really gets in And that's when he really takes off And he started doing that But then during year three He started taking off He started playing a lot better And then the Baltimore Ravens They traded for Roquan Smith So while Patrick Queen had already been playing a lot better They added Roquan Smith And he just continued to play great, great football And Roquan Smith helped make his job even easier And then in this year And we talked about it Everything that he went through this off season And everything that he had to deal with Everything that was literally thrown in his face But he showed up and showed out So whoever gets Patrick Queen next year They're gonna be getting a really good player They're gonna be getting somebody who has been there Done that somebody who has learned Somebody who has been through all the ups and downs As an NFL player And somebody who can help teach other people too How to have perseverance
