Overview
- The Chiefs traded Wanya Morris to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, sending Morris and a 2027 seventh‑round pick to Atlanta for a 2027 sixth‑round pick, according to multiple reports.
- Morris, a 2023 third‑round pick, has appeared in 43 games with 16 starts for Kansas City and is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
- Kansas City granted Morris permission to seek a trade after additions and internal options at tackle — including first‑round pick Josh Simmons, veteran Jaylon Moore and emerging backups — reduced his path to starts.
- Morris suffered a season‑ending left knee injury in Week 14 of 2025 but has been cleared to participate in offseason work and will provide Atlanta experienced, low‑cost depth and competition on the right side.
- The swap is a modest asset move for the Chiefs that clears a crowded depth chart and a low‑risk pickup for the Falcons that addresses recent roster gaps while the transaction remains subject to routine physicals.
