KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Derrick Nnadi is heading back to the Kansas City Chiefs after a brief stay with the New York Jets.
The Chiefs agreed to re-acquire the defensive tackle Sunday from the Jets with New York also trading a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2027 draft to Kansas City for a conditional sixth-rounder that year, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

He had a mostly quiet training camp for New York and was expected to be among the Jets’ cuts after they traded for defensive line
