Chidobe Awuzie spent the 2024 season with the Titans after 3 seasons with the Bengals (2021-2023).
On Tuesday afternoon, the Baltimore Ravens announced the signing of cornerback Chidobe Awuzie to a one-year contract. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the signing is a league-minimum deal.

Awuzie, 29, was most recently a member of the Tennessee Titans during the 2024 season where he had signed a three-year, $36 million deal. He started the team’s first three games but suffered a groin injury that landed him on injured reserve for most of the year. He returned in Week 14 against the Jaguars where he recorded his first interception with the Titans.
A former two-time Second-Team All-Pac-12 selection at Colorado, Awuzie entered the NFL as a second-round draft pick of the Cowboys in 2017. In four seasons with Dallas, Awuzie started 42 games while playing in 49 total. He recorded four interceptions and 37 pass breakups during that span.
From 2021-2023, Awuzie was a member of the Bengals, starting 32-of-37 games played, recording two interceptions and 25 pass breakups.
Awuzie now joins a cornerback room that features veteran Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Jalyn Armour-Davis and T.J. Tampa.
Chidobe Awuzie is on the market after being released by the Titans. Last year wasn’t his best season, but he’s still a good zone corner that is a consistent tackler/run defender.

Adding another cornerback — and a veteran at that — was a big need for the Ravens. With the losses and releases of Brandon Stephens and Arthur Maulet, along with the expired contract for Tre’Davious White, the Ravens were and still are in need for cornerbacks.
