Intriguing former Bengals player cut, heads to free agency

A former Cincinnati Bengals veteran hit free agency over the weekend after his team cut ties after roster moves elsewhere in the AFC.

Saturday, the Tennessee Titans announced they cut cornerback Chidobe Awuzie just a year after signing him to a three-year contract.

It's a surprising move because if the Titans call it a post-June 1 cut, it still puts $10 million in dead money on the books.

It's also an intriguing move from a Bengals perspective. Awuzie played in just eight games last year and prior to following Brian Callahan to Tennessee, played with the Bengals from 2021-2023.
