Jets sign three-time Super Bowl champion Derrick Nnadi in NFL free agency

The goal is to earn Super Bowl rings and the Jets added three of them on Sunday with the signing of defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi.

Nnadi, who turns 29 on May 9, spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Chiefs, and Kansas City was a good place to be, when it comes to winning at the highest level. Nnadi won three Super Bowls in those seven years.

His agency, SportsTrust Advisors, announced the signing.

With the Chiefs, Nnadi was a full-time starter his first six seasons after arriving as a 2018 third-round draft pick from Florida State.

He lost his starting job in 2024, starting only one time in 17 games.

He has 115 games and 87 starts on his resume and is a run-stopper, with 233 tackles and only five sacks in his career.

The Jets are getting what has been a durable player, as Nnadi has missed only two games in his NFL career. He also started 12 of the 16 games he appeared in during the postseason.

The Jets have been busy stocking their depth chart with defensive tackles, looking for someone to pair with Quinnen Williams.

Javon Kinlaw started all 17 games in 2024 on the interior of the defensive line for the Jets and this offseason moved onto the Commanders on a three-year deal worth $45 million.

Nnadi figures to vie for a starting job, with the Jets also signing Byron Cowart and Jay Tufele in this free agency period.
