The Cincinnati Bengals and veteran offensive lineman Dalton Risner have agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The deal is worth up to $5 million, per information provided by Risner’s agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Shawn O’Dare.
The agreement keeps Risner in Cincinnati for the upcoming season as the team continues to prioritize protection for their offensive backfield. Risner, who has previously spent time with the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, provides veteran experience to the interior of the offensive line. The $5 million maximum value of the deal reflects his role as a key contributor to the team's front-line depth and overall roster stability.
The move comes as NFL teams continue to finalize their rosters and salary cap allocations ahead of the league's critical calendar dates. By securing Risner on a one-year pact, the Bengals solidify their guard position with a player who has significant starting experience across the league. No further details regarding the guaranteed money or specific incentives within the $5 million total have been released at this time.
