The Atlanta Falcons have made a trade to bolster their offensive line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Falcons are acquiring offensive tackle\u00a0Wanya Morris\u00a0from the Kansas City Chiefs, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday. Kansas City is sending Atlanta a seventh-round pick along with Morris in exchange for a sixth-round selection, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport later added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A third-round pick in 2023, Morris started 16 games over three seasons in K.C., including 11 in the 2024 Super Bowl run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Falcons sought tackle depth this offseason following the retirement of veteran\u00a0Kaleb McGary. They had previously signed veteran\u00a0Jawaan Taylor\u00a0and now bring in his former teammate in K.C., Morris, to improve the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atlanta’s trade for Morris comes as it placed tackle\u00a0Storm Norton\u00a0on the reserve\/physically unable to perform list on Thursday. Norton missed the 2025 season with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 25-year-old Morris had a mostly disappointing three years with the Chiefs, particularly struggling in pass protection, but brings starting experience to Atlanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chiefs were exploring trade options for Morris, who was buried on the depth chart. K.C. will plow forward with\u00a0Jaylon Moore, second-year OT\u00a0Esa Pole, who has generated some buzz this offseason, and rookie OT\u00a0Kahlil Benson\u00a0as options opposite starting left tackle\u00a0Josh Simmons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
