I think signing Risner for the fairly small amount he will get will end up helping the defense.

This allows them to use another pick next week on defense instead of having to pick a G.  I think Risner/Patrick as the starters would be big upgrades over the previous years (yes the bar is very low). They could then cut Volson and draft a back up guard in the 5th or 6th round instead of having to take one within the first 3 rounds.  The rookie can’t be much worse than Volson.

This also allows them to pick another defensive player earlier in the draft.

I don't think anyone including me disagrees. The Bengals lack of interest (have not kicked the tires at all) is not money as he is not projected to cost much for a starting guard.

To me, that means Bengals do not feel he is upgrade or a fit. I am no OL expert so I am asking Syric, Sunset and others if there a reason Bengals feel he is not an ugrade.
