Jets somehow turn struggling DT into draft pick before cutting him

New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey has been working the phones ahead of this week's roster cut deadline, as the first-year executive just made his third trade in the last five days.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Sunday that the Jets agreed to a deal with the Chiefs to send veteran defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi back to the Chiefs in exchange for a conditional swap of 2027 sixth and seventh-round picks.

The return is virtually nothing, and it remains to be seen what conditions are attached to the trade, but given the fact that Nnadi had a virtually zero percent chance of making the Jets' roster, it's nice to get anything in return for the struggling veteran.
