NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans released Chidobe Awuzie on Saturday after signing the veteran cornerback to a three-year contract last spring.
Awuzie was guaranteed $23 million in the deal that could have netted him up to $36 million as the Titans spent big in 2024 trying to plug major holes, especially in their secondary.
According to Spotrac.com, Awuzie got $19 million at signing. His release avoids the $3.98 million guaranteed on the fifth day of the NFL’s new league year, which is Sunday.
The 29-year-old Awuzie spent three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals before joining Brian Callahan, that team’s offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2023, in his first season as head coach of the Titans.
He didn’t help much.
