Panthers Release Former Clemson Wide Receiver Hunter Renfrow

Hunter Renfrow, recovering from ulcerative colitis and a hamstring injury, was released as the Panthers favored younger receivers in their rebuilding roster strategy.

  • On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers released former Pro Bowl wide receiver Hunter Renfrow as part of final roster cuts to meet the 53-man roster limit.
  • In a youth-focused rebuild, Carolina opted to keep seven receivers, including Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Tetairoa McMillan, limiting veteran roster opportunities.
  • After missing 2024 with ulcerative colitis and dropping to 150 pounds, Hunter Renfrow earned praise from coaches and teammates, with Dave Canales saying he's really playing at top form and Jaycee Horn calling him impossible to guard.
  • Now a free agent, Hunter Renfrow could join a practice squad starting tomorrow if unclaimed; his pact included $50K guaranteed and activation counts toward Carolina's allocation of eight.
  • Several teams could pursue Hunter Renfrow, former Pro Bowl slot receiver, including the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, given his 2021 Pro Bowl season and proven production despite being out last year.
