Ravens pass on Patrick Queen's fifth-year option, making him a free agent in 2023.

The Baltimore Ravens have decided not to pick up the fifth-year option of inside linebacker Patrick Queen's contract, making him a free agent following the 2023 season. The option would have cost the Ravens $12.722 million. The decision was expected as the team declined to commit to the option and drafted inside linebacker Trenton Simpson in the 2023 NFL draft. Queen thrived when paired with Roquan Smith last season, but the Ravens' record-setting contract with Smith hinted at their dissatisfaction with Queen's production.
