Of that amount, $4.75 million is fully guaranteed. Brandel, 27, is owed $3.25 million in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Brandel would have the opportunity to compete for the starting left guard position. Although Brandel trained alongside starters during OTAs, his chance to start might change since Risner re-signed.<\/p>\n<h2>Risner was promoted to starting left guard after Ezra Cleveland suffered a foot injury<\/h2>\n<p>During free agency, Risner did not get an offer he wanted to sign and decided to await interest from a team that needed him. As it turns out, that team ended up being Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>After signing, Risner participated in special teams during his first three weeks in Minnesota before starting left guard Ezra Cleveland suffered a foot injury. This opened a starting role for Risner, and the Vikings then decided to part ways with Cleveland. He was dealt to the Jacksonville Jaguars\u00a0at the Oct. 31 trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re always looking for ways to find good football players when they\u2019re available,\u201d O\u2019Connell said of Risner\u2019s visit last year.<\/p>\n<p>O'Connell asked Risner during an interview whether he would be open to playing all over the offensive line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know his predominant history has been on that left side.
