Ravens Pair 'Free Agent Fits' For Seahawks

The Baltimore Ravens roster could look vastly different on defense next season. Set to become free agents - among others - on the March 13 beginning of the new league year are linebacker Patrick Queen and safety Geno Stone.

The Baltimore Ravens roster could look vastly different on defense next season. Set to become free agents - among others - on the March 13 beginning of the new league year are linebacker Patrick Queen and safety Geno Stone.

Salary cap issues could prohibit Baltimore from signing one or both, and SBNation thinks Queen and Stone would be "free agent fits" in Seattle.

Patrick Queen — LB — Baltimore Ravens

Queen spent three of his four years in the league working with Macdonald, and he made the Pro Bowl and was voted second-team All-Pro last season. Turning 25 in August, he is arguably the best inside linebacker in this free-agent class, and his contract might reflect that. He could end up surpassing the $18-million-per-year deal the Bears gave Tremaine Edmunds last offseason.

The Ravens declined Queen's fifth-year option, making him free this offseason, but not because they weren't happy with his play. His almost $13 million salary this year would've been fatal to the team's salary cap plans.

Queen is a two-time All-Pro - first team in 2020 and second team in 2023 - and made his first Pro Bowl in 2023. The LSU product finished third in AP Defensive Rookie of the Year voting.

Geno Stone — S — Baltimore Ravens

Stone entered the league as a seventh-round pick in 2020 and had a breakout season in 2023, ranking second in interceptions with seven, the most among safeties and second-most in the NFL. Stone is No. 106 on The Athletic’s top 150. He turns 25 in April.

Stone will be entering his fifth season in the league in 2024 and had a career year in 2023. Last year's seven interceptions led the team, as did his 101 interception return yards. He also recorded 68 total tackles with 44 solo and nine passes defended.
