The defensive tackle came to Kansas City in 2018 when he was drafted in the third round from Florida State.
In his seven seasons with the team, he helped the Chiefs to three Super Bowl victories. And in the community, Nnadi was known for his work to help sponsor adoptions for shelter dogs.
Nnadi signed with the Jets in March.
