CINCINNATI — NFL free agent guard Dalton Risner talked about the Bengals again this week as he continues stumping for a new place to play this fall. He noted the team has been in contact with his representation, but no deal has happened yet.
“Do you guys think it’s the Cincinnati Bengals? I don’t know,” Risner said on TikTok. “I’m in talks with multiple teams so we’ll see what happens.”
The 29-year-old appeared in 10 games for Minnesota last season due to injury after appearing in 15-plus outings per season since entering the league in 2019. He notched a 67 overall Pro Football Focus grade last season on 537 snaps, including a career-high 76.2 pass-blocking grade.
PFF projects him to sign a one-year, $4.5 million deal as he approaches his age 30 season.
On a TikTok live just now, Dalton Risner says Minnesota has shown interest in bringing him back, but “only to an extent.” Risner said he is in talks with “multiple teams”, and he imagines to be signed soon. Risner specifically mentioned the #Broncos, #Vikings and #Bengals.
