Cincinnati Bengals, ex-Dallas Cowboys CB Chidobe Awuzie agree to three-year deal, sources say

The Cincinnati Bengals and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie have agreed to terms on a three-year deal on Tuesday, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Awuzie gives Cincinnati an outside cornerback to pair with Trae Waynes, who signed with Cincinnati in 2020 but missed the entire season after he suffered a pectoral injury during training camp. William Jackson, Cincinnati's top cornerback last season, is a free agent after a strong 2020 campaign.

Exact terms of the deal were unavailable as of Tuesday morning. The deal was first reported by NFL Network.

Playing in a contract year, Awuzie's season with the Dallas Cowboys did not go as planned in 2020.
