The Kansas City Chiefs have brought back a familiar face in the defensive line room, agreeing to a trade with the New York Jets.

 

Defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi is returning to Kansas City, where he spent the past seven seasons, in exchange for a conditional sixth-round pick. The Chiefs also receive a conditional seventh-round pick in the deal.

 

Nnadi played 66 defensive snaps in the preseason for New York, making five tackles. The Jets have depth in the defensive tackle room, after acquiring Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs, making Nnadi the odd man out.

 

Nnadi is a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs, and has built a reputation around durability, appearing in 115 games in seven seasons. He will be a rotational defender, playing next to longtime teammate Chris Jones when the season opens next week.
