Hunter Renfrow<\/a>\u00a0was among the Panthers\u2019 roster cuts<\/a> on Tuesday. The veteran wideout is thus a free agent, and it remains to be seen where he will land in the coming days. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Renfrow spent the 2025 offseason attempting an NFL comeback. A case of ulcerative colitis kept him out of the NFL last season, but the South Carolina product landed an opportunity with the Panthers this spring. The team is open to a reunion via the practice squad, but it is unclear if Renfrow will be amenable to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been in constant communication with Hunter,\u201d head coach Dave Canales said (via ESPN\u2019s David Newton<\/a>).\u00a0\u201cWe have a couple of things on the table for him, and we\u2019re just going to keep talking. I just want to be able to count on Hunter the whole time. I saw some peaks, and I also saw some dips with his performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Renfrow\u2019s showings in training camp and the preseason were insufficient to land him on Carolina\u2019s 53-man roster. Several younger wideouts \u2013 a group headlined by 2024 and \u201925 first-round picks Xavier Legette<\/a>\u00a0and Tetairoa McMillan<\/a> \u2013 are now in position to handle the bulk of work in the passing game. That is especially true since Adam Thielen<\/a>\u00a0was traded to the Vikings yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Renfrow could absorb some of Thielen\u2019s vacated targets from the slot, but the door is also open to a fresh start elsewhere. The Clemson product is drawing interest from other teams, Newton reports<\/a>. Renfrow is currently weighing a number of options, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network adds<\/a>. An agreement of some kind will presumably be in place before Week 1.<\/p>\n

Renfrow earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2021, but after that his Raiders tenure fell well short of expectations. The 29-year-old will not be seen as a full-time starting option for Carolina or any other suitor, but he could offer veteran depth to a receiving corps. His free agency will be worth watching closely as roster moves and practice squad deals continue in the build-up to the start of the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hunter Renfrow\u00a0was among the Panthers\u2019 roster cuts on Tuesday.
