K?

I would sign him in a heartbeat…at the right price. 
Another homecoming.

He plays AT’s spot. We need some outside WRs.

Hunter Renfrow is one of the best pure slot players in the game.  But you got to want to run that type game like a Tom Brady did in NE.

Trade AT - sign Renfrow - done and done

Jimmy is smart he sees the bigger picture.

 

No need to even consider this we already have Thielen who plays the same slot position.

 

I think Mike Williams would be a better option if he becomes available.

Nothing against Theilen but I'd take Renfro over his bottom of the league YAC.

Sure he isn’t hitting the diminishing skills stage?

Renfrow is younger so if we trade AT is makes sense as long as the contract is cheaper.

The past 2 seasons have been pretty bad for HR....

I mean, AT isn't what you actually want out of the slot position if you are going w/ heavy pass looks.   He is slow, doesn't get open, I think ESPN analytics had him at 132 in terms of his YAC ability vs the field.

In the last two years he has a total of 585 yards. 

Before that, he had a 1000 yard, 100 catch season. 

He is 28.

that's just coaching/scheme decisions largely.  

Renfrow is only going to work in an O that wants to take advantage of that type slot play.   I mean, you can go listen to NFL players speak on him on all these player podcast.  Renfrow is a unique beast.  Just a very specific specialist.  He isn't going to hold the same value for all 32 coaches.
