Continuing to try to beef up their porous run defense, the Jets have signed free agent defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi. He becomes the third interior defensive linemen they’ve added since the start of free agency.

Nnadi joins former Bear Byron Cowart and Jay Tufele who came over from the Bengals in hopes of being more stout against the run. The 6′ 1” 317 pound Nnadi started just one game for the Chiefs last season but started all 34 games on their Super Bowl winning teams of 2022 and 2023.

We didn't want to see another Justin Fields highlight reel online. We wanted to see every single throw he made as the Steelers starting quarterback in 2024. We didn't want quotes. We didn't want running plays. We didn't want blaring music serving as a distraction. We just wanted the most recent version of Justin Fields throwing the football, but no such video existed.

Until now.
