Drafted No. 60 overall in 2017 by the Dallas Cowboys, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie is coming off an injury-plagued 2022 campaign.

Chidobe Awuzie Salary

Awuzie was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, playing his first four seasons there before signing with the Cincinnati Bengals. Awuzie signed a three-year, $21,750,000 contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, including a $4,500,000 signing bonus, $7,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $7,250,000.

Chidobe Awuzieย Cap Hit

The 27-year-old carries a $7,938,232 cap hit in 2023.

Chidobe Awuzieย Potential Extension

It wasn’t a positive 2022 for Awuzie, who suited up for just eight games in the Cincinnati secondary. Awuzie played just 53.2% of the snaps in those eight starts, failing to establish himself as a full-time starter at the NFL level.

Awuzie has one-year remaining on the three-year contract he signed with the Bengals, and he’ll be looking to put together a campaign where teams can see his value.
