Tillery, who is entering his seventh season in the NFL, has played in stints for the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Minnesota Vikings, and seemed poised to compete for a depth role on Kansas City's defensive line.

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.

The Kansas City Chiefs have completed a trade with the New York Jets just ahead of NFL cutdown day. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has reported that the Chiefs have acquired defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi from the Jets in exchange for a 2027 conditional sixth/seventh round pick flop.
