Las Vegas Raiders: 4 2023 free agents the team needs to extend this offseason

Hunter Renfrow

We will start on the offensive side of the ball, as the Las Vegas Raiders have had their fair share of disappointments on offense this season. The biggest blow was the loss of Henry Ruggs III, the former first-round draft pick who threw his NFL career away by allegedly driving drunk and killing 23-year old Tina Tintor.

With Ruggs gone, the Raiders have struggled to find that deep threat for their offense, but one constant in the passing game has been their short-yardage wideout. That player is Hunter Renfrow, a former fifth-round pick of the Silver and Black who has not only become a fan favorite but one of the more productive wide receivers in all of football.

Ever since Ruggs was released, and Darren Waller went down with a knee injury, Renfrow has become the No. 1 option in this passing game. He has three straight 100-yard efforts, and he has to be a priority for the front office in terms of those to extend past his current contract which ends after the 2023 campaign.
