This is a no frills forum designed for entertaining discussion about our beloved Vikings. Many of us have been discussing Vikings football together for years/decades, resulting in a camaraderie which we strive to preserve.
Why not all 3. Brandel is unproven as is a 5th. For a decent price why not Risner? That won’t deter us from still getting a 5th too. Risner can pass block not sure Brandel can run or pass block nor a 5 th rounder. Keep adding.
The last thing I want is a Dakota Dozier/ Dru Samia situation. Inside pressure kills plays a lot.
Yeah and if he's not going to sign elsewhere in the next week we don't get the comp pick anyway. We've currently got about $17M in cap space yet, so you could bring back Risner on a very reasonable deal and still have way more than enough cap to sign draft picks, use some on a JJ extension and probably roll some more over to 2025.
It's good to keep some cap space for post-draft and/or later cuts (even into training camp).... there are always surprise cuts by teams every offseason.... some teams are loaded at certain positions or end up picking a rookie and/or the rookie exceeds expectations right off the bat and are forced to cut quality players..... we could always add a player or two later on.....

Right and with $17M in cap space we've got plenty for all of that. That's my point, that there's no reason at least $$ wise that we can't bring him back. Although I think I'd prefer the comp 3rd if he signs elsewhere this week but sounds pretty doubtful that's happening.
Maybe people just don't like Risner the dude. Denver had no issues letting him walk and we were obviously fine with him hitting free agency. I don't think we need to spend another offseason obsessing over whether or not we will sign him. Imo there's something off about him from a personality standpoint

Agreed but if you can plug a hole cheaply then I’m for it.

If we trade up the only guy who will count toward the 53 cap will be the first round pick. Around the 4th those cancel out behind the line. We don’t need all that much for draft picks. We have plenty of cash for all that.

Now that might be the case. If it’s that I get it, but I won’t pass up cheaply on Risner to automatically give Brandel the spot. Plus a 5 th even Ingram not all that. We need to add on that interior several guys imo.
Do we really want to circle back to Risner? The guy was average as shit last year. The thought of Risner was way better than actual Risner. His constant sprinting down the field being a maniac was cool but I’d rather just draft a guy in the 5th and let him and Brandel battle it out

I just feel like they’re the same guy so why even bother wasting cap money on him. I didn’t think Risner was good at all but I know people love him. I’m all for adding a guard if they think there’s a competent one out there. But if Risner is best available then I think they should just sit tight and wait to see who gets cut during camp
And here's why Risner isn't signed. Sounds like a whiny douche
Dude is full of himself....
Like I said, he could've humbled himself and taken our vet minimum offer...... but.... after reading that, clearly he chose NOT to humble himself so it is a hard PASS on Risner for me..... I really hope we don't re-sign him after that...... roll with Brandel at LG and/or rookie.....
Not a whole lot out there about him. He’s 6’5”, spent preseason last year with the Falcons and recently showed out at a kicking camp some scouts attended. Wright could use some competition after last year.
