One player on the Las Vegas Raiders will be looking for another team this offseason.
With the start of the league year, the Raiders are planning to release wide receiver Hunter Renfrow.
This move has been expected for months.
The 2019 fifth-round pick from Clemson was a Pro Bowl player in 2021 but his production suddenly dropped as he went from catching 103 passes in 2021 and being a third-down sure thing to catching 36 passes in 2022 and just 25 in 2023.
He completely fell out of the offensive game plan of former coach Josh McDaniels, but not much changed once McDaniels was fired after Week 8 in 2023. Renfrow did not have a reception in the final four games of the season.

The team will get a salary-cap savings of $8.2 by cutting Renfrow, but they will also have $5.5 million in dead cap money by releasing Renfrow, who was going to have a $13.7 salary-cap hit this season.
The Raiders are also expected to cut quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian Hoyer and defensive tackle Jerry Tillery on Wednesday as the new NFL league year begins.
Renfrow will be a free agent and is still only 28.
