The Kansas City Chiefs have lost one of the few three-time Super Bowl champions remaining on the team. Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce will see an important contributor play for the New York Jets in the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n
With\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/strong>\u00a0postponing his retirement from the\u00a0NFL<\/strong>\u00a0after a painful\u00a0Super Bowl<\/strong>\u00a0loss,\u00a0Andy Reid<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0are ready to run things back next year. The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>, however, will see a player who was part of their success suit up for the\u00a0New York Jets<\/strong>\u00a0next year.<\/p>\n On Sunday, the agency SportsTrust Advisors revealed that\u00a0defensive 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 Ndadi, who turns 29 in May, was one of the few remaining players who celebrated\u00a0all 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 A third round pick out of Florida State, Ndadi\u00a0almost 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 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,\u00a0pulling off even more transactions<\/strong>\u00a0when free agency officially got underway.<\/p>\n 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\u00a0another player out of contract<\/strong>\u00a0with the San Francisco 49ers by signing running back Elijah Mitchell.<\/p>\n 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\u00a0some 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 The team also added\u00a0on 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 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 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,\u00a0keeping key playmakers<\/strong>\u00a0around Mahomes and\u00a0Kelce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Kansas City Chiefs have lost one of the few three-time Super Bowl champions remaining on the team.
