5 unexpected free agent signings Dallas Cowboys could still make happen

3. Dalton Risner, OG

The latest news regarding Dallas Cowboys All-Pro guard Zack Martin is certainly nothing to worry about...right?

Even though there's probably nothing to worry about, it can't hurt to upgrade your insurance when there could be some trouble in paradise. It's a bit of a surprise at this point that Dalton Risner is still available after his four years with the Denver Broncos. Risner was a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and started all four years he was with the Broncos.

Risner did deal with some injury issues this past year but it didn't seem like it was going to prevent him from getting maybe upwards of $9-10 million per season on a new deal in free agency. At this point, we don't even know of a single team that has expressed interest in Risner.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that he went after Broncos backup QB Brett Rypien on the sideline last Christmas? Maybe, maybe not.

The fact of the matter is, Risner could upgrade the Dallas Cowboys' offensive line depth, giving them a proven player who came into the NFL known for his versatility. He primarily started at the left guard position for the Denver Broncos but he played right tackle in college and did some snapping at center during the Senior Bowl in 2019.
