Per his representation at SportsTrust advisors, the Indianapolis Colts have signed Kansas City Chiefs veteran free agent defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi.
Originally a 2018 3rd round pick of the Chiefs, the 6’1”, 317 pound Nnadi has appeared in 130 career games, making 98 career starts. The 29-year-old veteran defensive tackle is fresh off a 2025 campaign for the Chiefs, in which he recorded 16 tackles during 15 games (11 starts). He’s a 3x Super Bowl Champion with Kansas City.
Per PFF, this past season, Nnadi earned a +43.6 overall grade, which was the 118th best among 134 qualifying interior defenders. He had a +46.0 run defense grade.
While the Colts recently added former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Colby Wooden in the Zaire Franklin trade over this past weekend, it looks like Nnadi will be the 1T ‘run defense’ replacement for departed veteran defensive tackle Neville Gallimore behind entrenched veteran run-stopping starting nose tackle Grover Stewart.
