NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero uncovers additional details that potentially influenced the trade of defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi from the New York Jets to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a conditional draft pick.

Nnadi spent the first seven years of his career with the Chiefs before signing with the Jets this offseason. But he became expendable when the Jets added two veteran defensive tackles via trade last week. They acquired Harrison Phillips and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Vikings in exchange for a 2026 sixth-rounder and 2027 sixth-rounder.

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.
