He’ll bolster the team’s depth at defensive tackle and have a chance to compete for a larger role. 

Nnadi, 28, was selected out of Florida State with the No. 75 overall pick by the Chiefs in the third round back in 2018. He finished out a four-year, $3,419,400 rookie contract with the Chiefs that included a $959,400 signing bonus.

He re-signed with the Chiefs on three consecutive one-year deals. 

In 2024, Nnadi appeared in all 17 games for the Chiefs and recorded 11 total tackles.
