The\u00a0<strong>Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>, however, will see a player who was part of their success suit up for the\u00a0<strong>New York Jets<\/strong>\u00a0next year.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the agency SportsTrust Advisors revealed that\u00a0<strong>defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi<\/strong>\u00a0is leaving the Chiefs to join the\u00a0Jets\u00a0as a free agent for the 2025 NFL season. The player spent seven years at Arrowhead, playing each of the last three seasons on a one-year deal before taking a different direction in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Ndadi, who turns 29 in May, was one of the few remaining players who celebrated\u00a0<strong>all three<\/strong>\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0titles with Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce in Kansas City. In fact, he was also the last remaining player from the 2018 NFL Draft class on the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>A third round pick out of Florida State, Ndadi\u00a0<strong>almost reached 100 appearances<\/strong>\u00a0with the\u00a0Chiefs. In 99 games played (including playoffs), he proved valuable for Steve Spagnuolo\u2019s defense with 271 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, six sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble, and an interception.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ds-images.bolavip.com\/news\/image?src=https:\/\/images.bolavip.com\/webp\/en\/full\/BUS_20250316_BUS_356710_Derrick-Nnadi-1024x576_69077d63.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576\" alt=\"REPORT: Three-time Super Bowl champion leaves Chiefs for Jets-binh123\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/>Derrick Nnadi #91 of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrates after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 29, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chiefs make moves in free agency<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While Ndadi\u2019s exit will probably require attention from the front office at the position, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has stayed busy trying to keep Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce in a position to chase another Super Bowl in 2025. The GM has been making moves since the start of the\u00a0NFL\u00a0legal tampering period,\u00a0<strong>pulling off even more transactions<\/strong>\u00a0when free agency officially got underway.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs\u2019 first addition in the open market was Jaylon Moore, hoping to fix the left tackle issues that haunted Reid and\u00a0Mahomes\u00a0in 2024. They immediately picked\u00a0<strong>another player out of contract<\/strong>\u00a0with the San Francisco 49ers by signing running back Elijah Mitchell.<\/p>\n<p>With Carson Wentz expected to draw interest from other teams as his one-year deal in Kansas City expired, the Chiefs signed quarterback Gardner Minshew to provide Reid\u00a0<strong>some insurance<\/strong>\u00a0behind Mahomes. In addition, they brought back Bailey Zappe, who may compete with Minshew for the QB2 spot throughout the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>The team also added\u00a0<strong>on the defensive side of the ball<\/strong>\u00a0by landing former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton and former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jerry Tillery, but perhaps the most important news came with contract extensions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Important players staying in Kansas City<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Chiefs are bringing back linebackers Blake Lynch and Cole Christiansen as well as defensive end Malik Herring, apart from placing the tender on LB Jack Cochrane and CB Nazeeh Johnson to keep more Super Bowl champions on the team.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s safe to say that Veach\u2019s best work came with the extensions for wide receiver Marquise \u201cHollywood\u201d Brown and running back Kareem Hunt,\u00a0<strong>keeping key playmakers<\/strong>\u00a0around Mahomes and\u00a0Kelce.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9\u00a0Ethan Miller\/Getty ImagesHead coach Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs speaks with the media after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime during Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":44119,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
