He’s been a revelation this year as the team’s top corner with Trae Waynes out. - Speaking with reporters ahead of the big game, he said other teams offered him more money in free agency, yet he liked what the Bengals had going on so much that he stuck with them. - Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News captured the moment: - - Chidobe Awuzie said he got a few mores offers after he already committed to the #Bengals, including one for more money, but he liked what he was hearing about the locker room and what they were building and he's glad he stuck with them. - — Laurel Pfahler (@LaurelPfahler) February 9, 2022 - - - Awuzie’s probably thrilled with the result — he’s in the Super Bowl and has two more years under contract before he can hit free agency again right in the middle of his prime. - On top of that, Awuzie will have the tall task of matching guys like Odell Beckham Jr. on the biggest stage of them all. - - Gallery - Best photos from Bengals' Wednesday practice ahead of Super Bowl LVI - - - - - - view 27 images - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bengals Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bengals Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
