Jets Sign Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Derrick Nnadi

The veteran defensive tackle joins the Jets after seven seasons with the Chiefs, bolstering New York's defensive line depth.

Derrick Nnadi, a 28-year-old defensive tackle, has signed with the New York Jets after spending his entire seven-year NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Nnadi was a key contributor to the Chiefs' success, starting 87 of 115 regular season games and earning three Super Bowl rings during his tenure.
In 2024, Nnadi's role diminished significantly, starting just one game and playing only 20% of defensive snaps, prompting his move to the Jets for a fresh opportunity.
The Jets have focused on strengthening their defensive line this offseason, signing Nnadi along with Byron Cowart, Jay Tufele, and Rashad Weaver to replace key departures like Javon Kinlaw.
Nnadi is expected to compete for a starting role alongside Quinnen Williams, bringing proven run-stopping ability and significant playoff experience to New York's defense.
