The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.
NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.
We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.
So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Minnesota Vikings guard, Dalton Risner.
Dalton Risner 2024 Contract Projection
Dalton Risner was assumed to be one of the more coveted guards last season, but the market spoke and Risner didn’t receive his desired payday. He ventured to Minnesota on a one-year prove-it deal for $3 million. While in Minnesota, his pass blocking efficiency rating dropped to 96.7%, his career low, and PFF’s run blocking grade of 50.0 was also a career-low.
Although Risner ended his 2022 campaign on the IR, it’s hard to imagine Risner getting a raise when coming off the arguably worst professional season of career.
- Franchise Tag Likelihood: None
- Projected Contract: 1 year, $2.5M, $2.5M APY, $1M GTD
- Year One Cap Hit $1.7M
