Hunter Renfrow says goodbye to Raiders

We are just under two hours before the official start of NFL free agency. At which point the Raiders are expected to release receiver Hunter Renfrow.

Ahead of his release being made official, the former Pro Bowl slot receiver took to social media to say goodbye to the team on which he spent the past five seasons.

“Once a Raider always a Raider,” Renfrow ended his message with.

Renfrow was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 draft (149 overall) out of Clemson. He went on to catch 269 passes for 2884 yards and 17 TD’s. And the term ‘Third and Renfrow” became a regular part of our vernacular.

This included a season in which he caught 103 passes in a season which is third in team history, just one behind the record Tim Brown had held for 23 years. It would lead to Renfrow receiving a new long term deal.

Then he saw a sharp downturn in his targets and receptions when Josh McDaniels took over as head coach. And now the team is taking the $8.2 million in cap relief with his release. Sad ending to a once very promising looking career for Renfrow with the Raiders.
