The Las Vegas Raiders will release wide receiver Hunter Renfrow and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, according to sources via NFL Network.
Renfrow, 28, signed a two-year, $32 million extension with the Raiders in 2022, with his release clearing $8.2 million off the Raiders’ salary cap. The five-year veteran had a career-low 25 catches for 255 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games last season. He entered the league as a fifth-round pick by the Raiders in the 2019 NFL Draft, logging 103 catches for 1,038 yards and nine scores, and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.
The 32-year-old Garoppolo signed a three-year, $72.7 million extension with the Raiders last March, but restructured that deal and was set to receive $11.2 million next season, but that can be voided because of his 2-game suspension in 2024 for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substance policy. The 10-year veteran completed 65.1% of his throws for 1,205 yards, seven scores and nine interceptions over seven appearances last season before being benched in Week 9 and then serving his two-game suspension.
