Guard Dalton Risner entered free agency simply hoping to find a home that valued him, whether that meant returning to the Denver Broncos or not.
"At the end of the day, it being a business," Risner said, per Kyle Newman of The Denver Post. "...it's like, 'Okay, where am I going to be valued at? Is it going to be with the Broncos or is it going to be somewhere else?'"
The Broncos have yet to re-sing Risner, instead adding former Ravens guard Ben Powers. Risner is a versatile player who has filled in at both guard spots in Denver and played right tackle in college. That versatility should make him very valued by another franchise.
The Dallas Cowboys would be a terrific landing spot for Risner. Dallas has their starting five in Tyron Smith, Taylor Smith, Zack Martin, Terence Steele and Tyler Biadasz, but it has battled injuries along the line over the past several years.
Tyron Smith missed the bulk of last season with a torn hamstring and hasn't played a full campaign since 2015. If he misses time again, Tyler Smith will likely move back to left tackle, where he played for most of his 2022 rookie campaign.
The Cowboys also lost guard Conor McGovern, who started 15 games last season, in free agency. Risner would be the perfect replacement for McGovern, and the Cowboys still have $16.5 million in cap space with which to work.

Prediction: Risner signs a two-year deal with Dallas.

I'm in ..........perfect replacement

Good thread OP

I could see that happening and would actually prefer it.

Risner has been a bit of a disappointment but could be a good stop gap.

Then draft and redshirt Vorhees in the 5th and you have quality prospect at a discounted price to develop as his replacement. The upside is you get a quality starting G in the 5th. At worst, Vorhees should be average which is still good value for a 5th. However, I’m not sure he makes it to the 5th.

The Cowboys still could draft a tackle/guard with the 4th or 5th round pick.

Happy the Risner train is picking up steam. Been saying this for months.

 

[Stash]

I think we should ask Brett Rypien what he thinks about this.

They screwed the pooch with their 2 d round pick.
I see the potential of the TE
But the choice not to draft a IOl when one dropped into your lap was beyond stupid.
First 2 picks could have been huge strengths for both lines.
Now, we will be forced to shuffle our Oline - which defies logic.
Someone like Risner will need to be bought in now - and the solution was right in front of them.
Like Baltimore of past drafts and recently the Eagles (hate to say it). When player of need at a position of need drops into your lap, don't overthink it, just pick the player and move on.
Now, every successive pic will be out of whack, sorry just bad drafting.
