Hunter Renfrow: Cut loose by Las Vegas
The Raiders will release Hunter Renfrow on Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.The move will open up $8.21 million in cap space for the Raiders in 2024 and was seen as an inevitability unless Renfrow agreed to a large paycut. He caught 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021 -- his third NFL season -- but then had only 585 yards in 27 games the past two seasons after signing a two-year, $32.33 million extension. He made it through the first season of the extension, but he'll now become a free agent a few months after his 28th birthday. Meanwhile, the Raiders have Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker atop their depth chart at wide receiver, with the latter having replaced Renfrow in the No. 3 role at times during the 2023 season.

Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Likely headed for release
The Las Vegas Raiders can add $11.8 million in 2024 cap space if they release Hunter Renfrow with a post-June 1 designation, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.Renfrow has just one season left on his contract, but the use of void years means dead-cap charges for 2025 and 2026 will accelerate onto the 2024 sheet if he's traded before June 1 or released without the aforementioned designation. Either way, the Raiders would avoid paying him an $11.53 million base salary, $100,000 workout bonus and up to $629,000 in per-game roster bonuses. It's an obvious move given his lack of production the past two seasons, though there is a scenario in which Renfrow stays in Las Vegas via a renegotiation or extension that drastically lowers his compensation. He's highly unlikely to have a trade market under the terms of the current contract.

Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Catchless over last four games
Hunter Renfrow, who didn't catch a single pass throughout the Las Vegas Raiders' final four games, ended the 2023 season with 25 total receptions for 255 yards on 37 targets in 17 contests.Renfrow's otherwise disappointing 2023 campaign was highlighted by a three-game stretch between Weeks 11 and 14 in which he posted a 12-126-0 line on 14 targets, but he promptly saw his playing time dwindle thereafter in favor of rookie Tre Tucker's development behind fellow wideouts Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. If the team is unable to find a trade partner for Renfrow this offseason, the 28-year-old slot receiver could be a release candidate at a $5.5 million dead cap expense, which would save the Raiders about $8.2 million in cap space.

Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Costly fumble in Sunday's loss
Hunter Renfrow caught three of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.The veteran slot receiver finished second on the Las Vegas Raiders in receiving yards, but Renfrow also may have cost his team the game -- on Las Vegas' first possession of the second half, he caught a receiver screen and fumbled the ball after a big hit, ending the Raiders' only trip into the red zone. Renfrow has seen a more consistent role in the game plan since Josh McDaniels was fired, but he still has yet to catch a TD or reach 50 yards in a game heading into a Week 15 clash with the Chargers.

Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Stays involved offensively
Hunter Renfrow corralled all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.Renfrow followed up his five-catch performance against Miami with four more grabs Sunday. The veteran slot man had failed to surpass two receptions over his first 10 games this season, which seemed to be directly linked to the signing of Jakobi Meyers this past offseason. Davante Adams and the aforementioned Meyers are still ahead of Renfrow in terms of depth chart order and target shares, leaving the 28-year-old with minimal fantasy value when Las Vegas returns from the bye to face Minnesota on Dec. 10.

Hunter Renfrow caught all five of his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.Renfrow finally caught more than two passes in a single game for the first time all season, but he played only three more offensive snaps (27) than rookie Tre Tucker (24) in Miami. Renfrow averaged just 8.4 yards per catch Sunday despite notching a 31-yard reception in the fourth quarter, while fellow receiver Davante Adams corralled seven of 13 targets for 82 yards and a score. Renfrow remains the No. 3 option at wideout for the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of a Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs.

Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Targeted once on SNF
Hunter Renfrow caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.Renfrow played ahead of rookie Tre Tucker in the No. 3 receiver role for the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football, but alpha Davante Adams was targeted on nearly half of Aidan O'Connell's 27 pass attempts, hogging 13 looks from the rookie quarterback while Renfrow saw just one opportunity come his way. Renfrow has yet to find the end zone through the team's first 10 games of the season, but Las Vegas could be forced to throw more often as a heavy underdog against the Dolphins in Week 11.
