The Tennessee Titans made the borderline surprising decision to release cornerback Chido Awuzie from his contract earlier this week. Awuzie was signed by previous general manager Ran Carthon to a three-year, $36 million deal just last offseason. His departure catapults sophomore cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. into a full-time boundary role opposite L’Jarius Sneed.
The Titans did not designate Awuzie as a post-June release, per Paul Kuharsky. They’ve elected to absorb the full $12.5 million in 2025 dead cap. After trading linebacker Kenneth Murray, new GM Mike Borgonzi is quickly ridding the Titans of last offseason’s mistakes.
