Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow.
Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow, formerly of the Raiders, to a contract.
The 2019 fifth-rounder spent five seasons with the Raiders before taking a year off in 2023. He produced a career-best season in 2021, catching 103-of-124 targets for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns. Renfrow has 1,881 slot snaps and 709 perimeter snaps to his name, though he curiously performs more efficiently, on a per-route basis, when lined up as a perimeter receiver. If he has anything left in the tank, the 29-year-old Renfrow may be able to compete for the team’s No. 4 wide receiver role. He is unlikely to perform as a reliable flex option, though.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports WR Hunter Renfrow is meeting with the Raiders.
Renfrow did not play last season after getting released by the Raiders at the end of the 2023 season. Reported as being more “retired” than “unsigned,” it would appear the former fifth-round pick could be eyeing a return. Still only 29 years old, Renfrow had emerged as a reliable slot receiver early in his career and posted a line of 103-1,038-9 in his third season — earning a Pro Bowl nod. He would go on to catch just 61 passes for 585 yards and two touchdowns over his last two years in the league and was limited to just 10 games in 2022 due to injuries. His reduced role ultimately led to his release, but with a new regime now in place and the Raiders needing receiver help, a reunion could bode well for both sides. Rapoport reports that Renfrow also met with the Panthers on Wednesday, adding “he plans to play in 2025.”
FOX Sports’ Greg Auman writes that he would classify WR Hunter Renfrow as more “retired” than “unsigned.”
Renfrow, who was released in March, has not been linked to a team or visited one since. This helps explain that. He’ll turn 29 in December. Renfrow had a 1,000-yard season in 2021 and barring a reversal will finish his career with 2,884 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. Mike Mayock certainly made worse draft picks.
