Nnadi signed with New York in March as one of the NFL 's most durable players at the position. He played in all 17 regular-season games each of the past four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and missed just one game over his entire seven-year tenure with the franchise previously.

The New York Jets have struck their third trade of the past week involving a defensive tackle. This time it’s a defender heading out of town. Derrick Nnadi has been shipped back to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Nandi will rejoin the only NFL squad he’s ever played regular season snaps for. He left Kansas City as an unrestricted free agent this past offseason, signing a one-year deal with the Jets worth a little more than $1.4 million, with $417,500 guaranteed.
