Overview

• The deal is a conditional 2027 sixth/seventh-round pick flop, sending Nnadi back to the team that drafted him in 2018.
• Two days before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET cutdown, the Jets moved the veteran after limited preseason usage (66 snaps, five tackles) and multiple DT additions.
• Nnadi returns as depth on the interior and is expected to work in a rotational, early-down role rather than reclaim a starting job.
• ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler first reported the trade, which was subsequently corroborated by AP, NFL Network and multiple outlets.
• New York will carry roughly $168,000 in dead money and create about $1.03 million in cap space on Nnadi’s one-year deal reported around $1.2–$1.4 million.
