Dalton Risner is Struggling to Find Free Agent Suitors Again and He’s Tweeting About It

Dalton Risner thought he was going to land a very healthy contract last offseason, after he finished his rookie deal with the Denver Broncos and they failed to offer the type of extension he felt he deserved, prior to hitting free agency.

But then, he landed on the open market in March and found that there were a lot less teams waiting to scoop him up than what he had anticipated, even after proving himself a very worthy starting NFL guard as a 4-year starter from 2019-2022. How baren was the market? Enough so that he was not on an NFL roster when the regular season started.

In fact, Risner was not signed by a team until the Minnesota Vikings finally scooped him up in the middle of September, between weeks 2 and 3. And he doesn’t want that to happen again.

So, leading up to free agency, it has been reported by Darren Wolfson (SKOR North, KSTP) that it was Risner’s goal to avoid what happened last year. Wolfson said on Friday’s episode of Mackey & Judd (SKOR North) that Risner wants to be done with free agency within the first 48 hours of it officially starting tomorrow.

But noticeably, there hasn’t been any steam surrounding Risner during the negotiating period of free agency, which goes until Wednesday at 3 p.m. CDT. Dalton is confused over the lack of attention he has received from guard hungry teams too, and he took his frustrations to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
