The Atlanta Falcons are trading for three-year Chiefs tackle Wanya Morris, team sources confirmed to The Athletic on Thursday, adding a second Kansas City offensive lineman this offseason.
The Falcons will receive a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Chiefs while sending a 2027 sixth-rounder back to Kansas City, team sources confirmed.
The Chiefs selected Morris as a third-round pick in 2023. He started 16 games for Kansas City across three seasons, with only one start last year. Morris, a Georgia native, graduated from Grayson High (Ga.), located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
He joins a Falcons offensive line with stalwart starter Jake Matthews at left tackle and Morris’ former Kansas City teammate Jawaan Taylor as the projected right tackle. Taylor signed a one-year free agency deal with the Falcons in March. Storm Norton was the only veteran reserve on the roster before Morris’ addition.
