Will The Raiders Trade Hunter Renfrow? Which Teams Would Be The Best Fit?

Will The Raiders Trade Hunter Renfrow? Which teams are favorites to land Hunter Renfrow if he leaves the Raiders? Read the 2023 NFL free agency outlook.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow was a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The veteran wide receiver had 186 receptions for 2,133 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in his four years at Clemson.

Renfrow had a productive rookie season, totaling 49 receptions on 71 targets for 605 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The slot receiver had another solid year in 2020, with 56 receptions on 77 targets for 656 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

However, Renfrow had a career year in 2021. The star receiver had 103 receptions on 128 targets for 1,038 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, all career highs. Furthermore, he finished top 10 in the NFL in receptions and receiving touchdowns that year. Unfortunately, things changed last season.

Will The Raiders Trade Hunter Renfrow?

The Raiders made a chance at head coach and traded for Davante Adams. Unfortunately, Renfrow struggled with injuries, missing seven games. The veteran receiver had 36 receptions on 50 targets for 330 receiving yards and two touchdowns last year, all career lows.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas added several receivers this offseason, including Jakobi Meyers. The team also traded up in the second round of the NFL Draft to secure Michael Mayer. Therefore, it’s no surprise the Raiders are exploring trade options for the veteran wide receiver.

Which Teams Would Be The Best Fit?

If Las Vegas trades or cuts the former Clemson star, the New Orleans Saints would be an excellent landing spot. The team signed Derek Carr this offseason, and the veteran quarterback loved throwing to Renfrow over the past few years.

More importantly, New Orleans has only one wide receiver they can trust. Chris Olave had an impressive rookie season, totaling 72 receptions on 119 targets for 1,042 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Furthermore, Michael Thomas has missed 80% of the games over the past three years because of injuries.

Meanwhile, Rashid Shaheed, A.T. Perry, and Tre’Quan Smith fill out the rest of the wide receiver unit. Last year Shaheed and Smith combined for 47 receptions on 61 targets for 766 receiving yards and three touchdowns, while Perry had 26 touchdowns last year at Wake Forest.

Renfrow would give Carr a familiar face to throw to and a reliable slot receiver. The veteran could have consistent fantasy value in New Orleans if Thomas struggles to stay healthy.
