Is it realistic for the Bengals to get a deal done with Risner before free agency? <\/p>\n
Sometimes those talks can be tough, but we’ve seen multiple examples of veterans staying with the current team in recent much. <\/p>\n
First, it was Malcolm Roach in November. Now it’s veteran defensive tackle Teair Tart. He agreed to a three-year extension with the Chargers on Monday. <\/p>\n
Could Risner be the next veteran to sign a long-term extension before free agency? <\/p>\n
In an ideal world, yes. And it certainly helps that he wants to return. <\/p>\n
“This is where I want to be. Unfortunately, I feel like there’s a business aspect to it,” Risner said earlier<\/a> this month<\/a>. “I want to play for this organization. I want to be a Cincinnati Bengal. I want to block for Joe Burrow. I want to block for Chase Brown. I want to block for Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase. I mean, I could go on and on and on of the list of guys in this locker room of why I want to be here, the fit, how I play, how I think I can help this team win, the continuity that I had with this offensive line and how we continue to build all year. Yeah, this is exactly where I want to be. I said earlier this week, and I said it last week, is I feel like it’s got to be a mutual thing where we come together and do it.”<\/p>\n The time is now for the Bengals to engage with Risner’s agent Drew Rosenhaus to get a long-term extension in place. Rosenhaus has represented plenty of previous Bengals stars, including Chad Johnson and Mike Hilton. He currently represents Jalen Rivers and Matt Lee. <\/p>\n Malcolm Roach agreed to a 3-yr extension with DEN in Nov. in lieu of waiting to test the FA market in March. <\/p>\n And now Teair Tart does the same agreeing to a 3-yr extension with LAC.<\/p>\n Bengals should really be focused on extending RG Dalton Risner ahead of FA. https:\/\/t.co\/3zzM3nZQCA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Andre Perrotta (@andreperrotta13) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Sign UP For Our DAILY Newsletter for MORE FREE Coverage of the Cincinnati Bengals Delivered to YOU Directly<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0For more on the Bengals,\u00a0subscribe to our YouTube Channel<\/a> and be sure to check us out on your favorite audio platforms, including Apple Podcasts<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, iHeartRadio<\/a> and Amazon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Make sure you\u00a0bookmark BengalsTalk.com\u00a0for the latest Bengals news<\/a>, exclusive interviews, film breakdowns and so much more!
