The NFL is all about earning victories in the finer margins of roster building, and that's exactly what New York Jets general manager managed to do with his trade of Derrick Nnadi last week.
Nnadi was signed by the Jets in the offseason with the hope that he could compete for the starting 1-tech job. But following an underwhelming summer, the longtime Kansas City Chiefs nose tackle found himself on the outside looking in at the roster bubble.
The expectation was that Nnadi would be released as part of final roster cuts, but the Jets somehow managed to find a taker, sending the veteran defensive tackle back to Kansas City in exchange for a swap of 2027 sixth and seventh-round picks.
