There's been some noise surrounding Patrick Queen and his future with the organization. In addressing reporters on Tuesday morning at the Scouting Combine, Omar Khan sure made it sound like Queen's not a guy that's about to be cut.
"(Queen)'s been good for us. He likes being here, we like having him part of the team," Khan said. "Part of the process is going to be him getting to know us, us getting to know him. But I'm excited about having him around."
Queen is entering the final year of his contract and is due for a $17.19 million cap hit, according to Spotrac. If the Steelers were to cut Queen, they'd shed $13.33 million in cap space. However, Khan was clear they don't need to make sizable cuts to create cap space.
"We're in good cap shape, I'll just say that," Khan said. "Nothing's imminent, but we're in pretty good cap shape."
