Awuzie is back in the AFC North.
The Cincinnati Bengals won’t be bringing Chidobe Awuzie back to help their struggling secondary.
Instead, Awuzie has agreed to a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to Ian Rapoport.
It’s reportedly a minimal deal, as the Tennessee Titans still owe him $7.5 million this year after cutting him earlier this offseason.
Awuzie played in Cincinnati from 2021-23 and was a Pro Bowl-level cornerback during the team’s Super Bowl LVI run. However, he’s never regained that former since tearing his ACL midway through the 2022 campaign.
After struggling to find his footing in 2023, Awuzie left to sign a three-year, $36 million deal with Tennessee, following Brian Callahan to the Music City. However, Awuzie struggled to make an impact for one of the worst teams in football, finishing with a 64.4 PFF grade for the season.
Still, Awuzie has enough left in the tank to give a team like Baltimore some valuable depth on the boundary. It’s unclear if Cincinnati ever had interest in a reunion.
Now, the Bengals will go up against him at least twice in the 2025 season.
