The Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive line got a big boost when the team finally signed guard Dalton Risner to a one-year deal.

The 6-foot-5, 315-pound veteran will give Joe Burrow and company a bit more security in pass protection.

“He’s going to help us a ton,” said Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. when asked about the move. “Everybody knows what he’s done in this league… He’s a dog. He’s got tremendous feet. He does a great job also using his hands in pass protection. He’s a really big guy as well, so it sounds like a match and easy fit in our room.”

“He’s going to help us a ton.”

After months of anticipation, the front office finally got it done and gave the o-line an insurance policy in case Jalen Rivers doesn’t develop quickly enough.

No doubt, this was the right move for a team in win-now mode. Now, as Brown hinted at the end of the interview, it’s just about seeing how quickly he can develop chemistry with the line with the regular season only a week and a half away.
