For a second straight offseason, Derrick Nnadi is leaving the Chiefs. Although Kansas City reacquired the veteran defensive tackle via trade (from the Jets) last summer, he is on the move again.
The Colts are adding Nnadi this year, announcing the signing. The team also re-signed tight end Andrew Ogletree and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. Nnadi is a 98-game career starter; he joins a veteran-heavy Colts D-tackle cadre housing DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart.
Chris Ballard was not in the Chiefs’ front office when the team selected Nnadi in the 2018 third round; the move came a year after the ex-John Dorsey lieutenant’s departure for Indianapolis. Nnadi is heading into an age-30 season. He will join Buckner (32 next week) and Stewart (32) as 30-somethings at defensive tackle in Indy.
Nnadi has been a career-long 4-3 D-tackle, playing most of his career under Steve Spagnuolo. The Chiefs’ run-stuffing Chris Jones sidekick played 34% of Kansas City’s defensive snaps last season, despite being reacquired in August. Pro Football Focus has not viewed Nnadi as a productive defender in years, ranking him outside the top 110 among qualified options at the position each season from 2022-25. The Chiefs, however, have consistently fielded top-10 defenses. Nnadi played in Super Bowl LIX and started Super Bowls LIV, LV and LVII.
As Nnadi joins Colby Wooden as new DTs acquired by the Colts over the past week, the AFC South club has rostered Ogletree since 2022 and Treadwell since 2024. Arriving during Frank Reich’s final draft as Colts HC, Ogletree has started 20 Colts games. The 2022 sixth-round pick ended up playing a more consistent role than 2022 third-rounder Jelani Woods, who has not played since his rookie season. The Colts cut Woods last year.
After logging 40% snap shares in both 2023 and ’24, Ogletree played 24% of Indianapolis’ plays in 2025. The Colts have used Ogletree more as a blocking tight end, and for good reason. Although not qualifying as a full-time TE in 2025, Ogletree drew the top pass-blocking grade among all players at the position. More than three quarters of Ogletree’s snaps came as a run or pass blocker.
For never coming close to living up to his first-round billing, Treadwell has managed to stick around. Should he see action in 2026, it would be his 11th NFL season. Treadwell, 30, has not caught a pass as a Colt; he did, however, see action on 51% of Indy’s special teams plays in 2025.
