Sources: Chiefs reacquire DT Derrick Nnadi in trade with Jets

The Kansas City Chiefs acquired veteran defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi through a trade Sunday with the New York Jets, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The deal also includes a 2027 draft-pick swap, with the Chiefs receiving a conditional seventh-round pick in exchange for a conditional sixth-round selection.

Entering Sunday, the Chiefs desperately needed a veteran interior lineman for early downs. The Chiefs also couldn't risk the possibility of the Jets trading Nnadi to another team before the NFL's cutdown day deadline Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, when teams must trim their roster to 53 players.
