The Atlanta Falcons have acquired offensive tackle Wanya Morris and a seventh-round draft pick from the Kansas City Chiefs, sending a sixth-round selection in return. The trade, pending a physical, addresses the Falcons' need for depth at left tackle.
Morris, 25, was a third-round pick by the Chiefs in 2023. During his three years with Kansas City, he started 16 games, often filling in due to injuries to players ahead of him on the depth chart. He was part of the Chiefs team that won a Super Bowl two years ago.
The Falcons signed Jawaan Taylor in free agency to compete at right tackle, but his absence from voluntary offseason workouts has led to Michael Jerrell, acquired from Seattle last year, taking first-team reps at left tackle. The team also placed offensive lineman Storm Norton on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
