Overview

• New York sent Nnadi and a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick to Kansas City for a conditional 2027 sixth-rounder, per multiple reports first posted by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
• The Jets clear roughly $1.03 million in cap space with a small dead-money charge after signing Nnadi to a one-year deal this spring reportedly worth around $1.2–$1.4 million.
• Nnadi became expendable after New York traded for defensive tackles Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs last week, and his preseason usage signaled he was unlikely to make the 53-man roster.
• Kansas City adds a familiar early-down interior option expected to work in rotation rather than start, bolstering depth alongside Chris Jones before Tuesday’s cutdown deadline.
• The 29-year-old spent his first seven seasons with the Chiefs, winning three Super Bowls and logging 115 games (87 starts), though his 2024 snap share fell to a career-low near 20% with poor PFF grades.
