The Vikings have officially re-signed guard Dalton Risner after news of his return broke earlier in the week. The team made the announcement on Friday, revealing that Risner has signed a one-year deal. Although the specific terms of the deal have not been disclosed, it is clear that Risner’s return is a significant boost to the team’s offensive line.
Risner joined the Vikings last season after playing his first four seasons with the Broncos. He started 11 games at left guard and is expected to resume that role for the Vikings in the upcoming 2024 season. With Risner back in the mix, the team can now focus on their preparations for the upcoming season with a key piece of their offensive line secured.
To make room for Risner on the roster, the Vikings have waived undrafted rookie offensive lineman Matt Cindric. This corresponding move allows Risner to rejoin the team and solidify their offensive line for the upcoming season. The Vikings are likely hopeful that Risner can continue to provide stability and experience in the positions he plays. Overall, Risner’s re-signing marks an important step forward for the Vikings as they prepare for another successful season on offense.
