KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A former K-State offensive lineman is heading to a new team.

After four seasons with the Denver Broncos, Dalton Risner agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday. The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport reported that Risner signed a $4 million deal for one season with the Vikings. Minnesota desperately needed offensive line help after suffering multiple injuries in the first two weeks of the season.

Risner started all 62 games he appeared in for the Broncos during his four seasons with the team. He was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Last season, Risner was the Broncos’ Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee.
