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

Chidobe Awuzie 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.
