Kansas City lands Derrick Nnadi from the Jets in a trade that includes a 2027 conditional 6th and 7th-round pick, bringing the veteran back to KC after seven seasons with the club.

Nnadi logged 11 tackles in 2024 and produced a postseason sack, a testament to his run-stopping value in Steve Spagnuolo’s front. KC has previously shown a penchant for reunions, notably reuniting Mecole Hardman with the Jets in 2023, signaling a comfort with familiar fits as it pursues another title run.

From a fantasy angle, Nnadi’s role should be rotational to start, with upside in deeper leagues if he carves out more early downs and short-yardage snaps, especially in matchups where run defense is paramount.
