Cincinnati Bengals Keep Guard Dalton Risner for Another Year

The Cincinnati Bengals have locked in guard Dalton Risner for another season, announcing Monday that they’ve reached a one-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2026.

According to his representatives Drew Rosenhaus and Shawn O’Dare, who spoke with ESPN, the contract could be worth as much as $5 million.

During his inaugural campaign with Cincinnati in 2025, the offensive lineman took the field for 14 contests, earning starting positions in 11 of those games while logging 768 snaps on offense.

The 30-year-old veteran has accumulated experience across 101 NFL games with 92 starts throughout his professional career. His journey has taken him from the Denver Broncos, where he spent four seasons from 2019 through 2022 after being selected in the second round of the 2019 draft, to a two-year stint with the Minnesota Vikings from 2023 to 2024, before joining the Bengals.
