US EditionKansas City Chiefs Reunite with DT Derrick Nnadi in Trade with New York Jets: Report
Derrick Nnadi returns to the Chiefs after the Jets acquired two veteran defensive tackles, filling a depth role for Kansas City's defensive line rotation.
- On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs re-acquired defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, swapping conditional 2027 sixth- and seventh-round picks with the New York Jets.
- After the Jets acquired veteran defensive tackles Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs last week, Nnadi became expendable only months into his tenure, ESPN reported.
- A look at Nnadi's résumé shows 233 career tackles, 8 quarterback hits and 5 sacks across 115 games with 87 starts, while Pro Football Focus tracked declining grades since 2020.
- Adding Nnadi provides immediate interior depth as a rotational defender alongside All-Pro Chris Jones, bolstering early-down depth with Jerry Tillery and second-round rookie Omarr Norman-Lott for the 53-man roster.
- Back together after a short time away, Derrick Nnadi is a low-risk pickup following Skyy Moore's trade to the San Francisco 49ers, giving the three-time Super Bowl champion a shot at another ring.
