Bengals sign Risner to one-year deal, riding on locker-room chemistry
The Bengals signed guard Dalton Risner to a one-year extension to preserve the starting five offensive linemen for back-to-back seasons; Risner wanted to stay in Cincinnati, and the deal involved compromises on length and salary, aided by center Ted Karras' welcome in the locker room. A strong season could boost Risner's 2027 free-agent market.
