Raiders Star Admits Belief He’s Playing His Final Game in LV
It’s been a rough couple of seasons for Hunter Renfrow. After catching 103 passes for 1,038 yards and making the Pro Bowl in 2021 for the Las Vegas Raiders, the wide receiver has not been nearly as productive
Renfrow had 36 catches for 330 yards last season and only has 25 catches for 255 yards this season despite playing in more games. The Raiders have him a two-year contract extension in 2022 but it doesn’t look like he’ll finish the contract
Renfrow was surprisingly candid about this week’s game against the Denver Broncos, which is likely his last as a Raider.
I definitely think a lot about it,” Renfrow said of potentially playing his final game with the Raiders, per a January 3 column from Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal
The wide receiver didn’t mince words as he’s pretty convinced he’ll be getting released or traded at some point this offseason
I’m very aware of my contract and what will probably happen at the end of the year,” Renfrow said.
The Raiders will only have a $5.5 million dead cap hit if they release Renfrow in the offseason. Considering how poorly he’s played the last two seasons, it’s unlikely the team will find a trade partner
Hunter Renfrow quickly became a fan favorite for the Raiders fan base after getting selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He quickly developed into a dependable slot receiver and has over 600 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons
He was a much better fit in Jon Gruden’s offense and couldn’t find the same success with Josh McDaniels. Despite going through a couple of rough seasons, Renfrow still has a lot of love for the Raiders and sent a message to the fan base.
