The Raiders are releasing Renfrow in a move that will add $8.21 million in 2024 cap space, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. The move was seen as inevitable unless Renfrow would agree 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 years after signing a three-year, $31.7 million contract. He made it through two seasons of the contract and earned more than $20 million, and 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 in 2023.

Cut loose by Las Vegas
The Raiders are releasing Renfrow in a move that will add $8.21 million in 2024 cap space, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. The move was seen as inevitable unless Renfrow would agree 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 years after signing a three-year, $31.7 million contract. He made it through two seasons of the contract and earned more than $20 million, and 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 in 2023.
Season-high five receptions Sunday
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 Raiders ahead of a Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs.
Targeted once on SNF
Renfrow played ahead of rookie Tre Tucker in the No. 3 receiver role for the 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.
Notches two receptions in victory
Renfrow's pair of receptions came on back-to-back plays in the second quarter to set up a two-yard touchdown rush for Josh Jacobs, giving the Raiders a two-score lead. Renfrow would ultimately log just 13 offensive snaps, however, while rookie Tre Tucker earned more playing time behind fellow receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. Despite the departure of former head coach Josh McDaniels, Renfrow's role appears to remain limited ahead of a Week 10 tilt against the Jets.
Two catches on MNF
Renfrow was on the field for 28 of the Raiders' 46 offensive snaps as the team played from behind for much of the contest, but he was held to two or less receptions for the eighth consecutive week. If nobody's dealt ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, Renfrow figures to remain behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers in the pecking order at wide receiver against the Giants in Week 9.
