The life of the NFL insider can often sound brutal, but so far it hasn\u2019t crushed Whitney Riser\u2019s spirit.<\/p>\n
The wife of Bengals offensive lineman Dalton Risner beat Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo, and the rest of the industry\u2019s top NFL insiders to the punch, announcing Monday that the 30-year-old guard was re-signing with the team on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not really supposed to tell anybody this, but I\u2019ve got some inside information, and I just feel like you guys can keep a secret. Per sources, Dalton Risner is signing back to the Cincinnati Bengals, and sources are me, baby,\u201d Whitney Riser said in a video that included the caption, \u201cI\u2019m feeling like Adam Schefter right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
