Cincinnati Bengals sign guard Dalton Risner to one-year deal
Risner signed a one-year, up to $5 million deal to maintain offensive line continuity and protect QB Joe Burrow, appearing in 14 games with 11 starts last season.
- The Bengals announced Monday that they re-signed right guard Dalton Risner to a one-year contract, preserving Joe Burrow's entire starting offensive line for 2026.
- Bengals representatives met with Risner's agents last week at the NFL Combine and finalized terms after he played 14 games and started 11 following his late 2025 training camp arrival.
- Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the deal is worth up to $5,000,000, and Whitney Risner announced the news on Instagram, while coach Zac Taylor said 'Dalton is a critical part of our team, critical part of our offensive line'.
- When Risner told Burrow the deal was done, Burrow called back mid-workout and said it was going to be 'our year,' highlighting their strong locker-room bond.
- Reports differ on the contract's length, with one report saying a two-year extension through 2027 while the team announced a one-year contract, and the deal was completed before the negotiating window next week.
