Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

[TheSpecialJuan]

Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow.

The 2019 fifth-rounder spent five seasons with the Raiders before spending last year in semi-retirement. He produced a career-best season in 2021, catching 103-of-124 targets for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns. Renfrow has 1,881 slot snaps and 709 perimeter snaps to his name, though he curiously performs more efficiently, on a per-route basis, when lined up as a perimeter receiver. If he has anything left in the tank, the 29-year-old Renfrow may be able to compete for the team’s No. 4 wide receiver role. He is unlikely to perform as a reliable flex option, though.

I'm not really getting this signing at the moment. We went from 1 returner to 4 or 5 it seems. I like competition as well as anyone but this seems a bit of an overkill.

I'm not sure he makes the roster, TBH. He's a name at this point, but I'm not sure what he brings to the table that we don't already have with Adam Thielen. I suspect we keep 6 WRs this year:

LOCKS:
T-Mac
XL
Thielen
Coker

LIKELY:
Horn Jr. (as a return specialist if nothing else)

That only really leaves one open WR spot between Renfrow, Moore, Jacolby George, Kobe Hudson and Moose III.

I love this signing. He was a solid player for years with Oakland. He does his job well, problem is he basically just plays slot. If nothing else he’s a good camp body to have. If there’s an injury then he’s a experienced WR we can use as a back up plan.

Ah yes, that Gamecock defense was elite...

I mean, I was not so subtly just trying to just get a shot in at the Gamecocks. 

but if you want it vs mighty Bama in National Title games…

7 rec, 88 yard, 2 TDs. 

10 rec, 92 yards, 2 TDs.  

Bama had no answer for him either.

I love it. Nothing wrong with having a slot specialist for your 4th/5th spot.
