Agents Ryan Williams and Brian Murphy will lead the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is Queen&#8217;s second agent switch this offseason. He left the Ballengee Group for IFA back in April, a move that lined up with trade chatter linking him to the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. That trade never happened, and just months later, Queen has moved to Athletes First.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queen, a 2020 first-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens out of LSU, was named Defensive MVP of the Tigers&#8217; 2019 national championship game. He signed with Pittsburgh in March 2024 on a three-year, $41 million deal and enters the final season of that contract in 2026, with unrestricted free agency awaiting next March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off the field, Queen launched an athletic scholarship for student-athletes in his home state of Louisiana earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing adds Queen to Athletes First&#8217;s fast-growing NFL client list. The agency has been especially active lately, landing Denver Broncos wide receiver <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/marvin-mims-jr-signs-with-athletes-first-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marvin Mims Jr.<\/a> and Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/tyrion-ingram-dawkins-signs-with-athletes-first-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins<\/a> in July. Just days before the Queen deal, Seattle Seahawks safety <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/julian-love-signs-with-athletes-first-for-representation\/\">Julian Love<\/a> also joined Athletes First for brand partnerships and on\/off-field work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2001, Athletes First has built a reputation for closing major contracts, including deals for <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/dak-prescott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dak Prescott<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/jordan-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jordan Love<\/a>. With Queen heading into a contract year, that track record may be exactly what he&#8217;s betting on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Takeaways<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two agent changes in one offseason is unusual, and it says something: Queen isn&#8217;t settling, he&#8217;s shopping for the best possible leverage before hitting free agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pairing with an agency that has a track record of landing big second contracts, rather than staying put with a smaller shop, suggests Queen and his camp are playing the long game for 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does switching agents twice in one offseason signal uncertainty about Queen&#8217;s next contract, or just careful positioning? Will Athletes First&#8217;s dealmaking reputation translate into a Steelers extension, or a bigger payday elsewhere in free agency?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patrick Queen, inside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has signed with Athletes First for on-field representation.
