On the second day of the NFL’s legal tampering period, the Pittsburgh Steelers made their first splash of the offseason as they signed former All-Pro inside linebacker Patrick Queen to a three-year contract. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Queen is set to make a total of $41 million over the next three seasons.

Many players from the Steelers and the Ravens already took to social media to express their feelings about the move. Queen jumped out ahead of the media storm and posted to his social media after the news of his signing broke.

One of the first Steelers players to react to the arrival of Queen was newly-signed quarterback Russell Wilson. Linebackers coach Aaron Curry expressed his excitement in the signing with a meme that he posted on X.

QUEEEEENNN! @Patrickqueen_

While his new teammates were quick to congratulate him on his pay raise, his former teammates were equally as quick to say how much this move hurts them on a personal level. From the looks of their reactions, the Steelers got themselves a great player and an even better teammate.

The combination of this high altitude atmosphere I’m in and what PQ just did has my chest hurting.
