he Denver Broncos could very well have rookie first-round pick Bo Nix under center for Week 1 of the regular season. Nix is the most experienced quarterback in NCAA history with a record 61 starts to his credit.
Still, the Broncos can help make his transition to the NFL easier. They have a deep corp of wide receivers. But very few of them are proven.
Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox believes a former Las Vegas Raider can help the Broncos in free agency.
“At some point, a team has to take a flier on receiver Hunter Renfrow, right? The 28-year-old has struggled over the past two seasons, but he was a Pro Bowler with the Raiders in 2021,” Knox wrote on July 4. “The Denver Broncos should … take a look at Renfrow. Denver is looking to develop rookie quarterback Bo Nix and doesn’t have a lot of proven pass-catchers after Courtland Sutton.”
“Denver’s passing game coordinator, John Morton, was a senior offensive assistant with the Raiders during Renfrow’s Pro Bowl year.”
He was entering the final season of a two-year, $32.3 million contract extension.
Renfrow was set to count $13 million against the salary cap this coming season. The Raiders cut Renfrow in March, saving $8 million.
