Free agency continues to shuffle NFL rosters, and the Kansas City Chiefs will see the departure of defensive lineman Derrick Nnadi. After seven fruitful seasons with the Chiefs, where he developed into a crucial run-stopper alongside All-Pro Chris Jones, Nnadi is set to join the New York Jets. The 28-year-old will compete for a starting role with the Jets, who are bolstering their defensive line following his three Super Bowl victories during his time in Kansas City.

Nnadi's career stats reflect his impact; he recorded 11 combined tackles in the 2024 regular season and contributed with a sack in the postseason. The Chiefs will now need to address their defensive line depth in the upcoming draft as they prepare to fill the void left by Nnadi.
