NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero uncovers additional details that potentially influenced the trade of defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi from the New York Jets to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a conditional draft pick.

Nandi will rejoin the only NFL squad he’s ever played regular season snaps for. He left Kansas City as an unrestricted free agent this past offseason, signing a one-year deal with the Jets worth a little more than $1.4 million, with $417,500 guaranteed.

After starting double-digit games in each of his first six seasons, Nnadi started just a single game in 2024 and posted a career-low 11 tackles. He earned a Pro Football Focus grade of 35.8, which was 207th of 220 interior defensive linemen.
