Chiefs Trade Wanya Morris to Falcons, Reworking the Right-Tackle Picture

The Kansas City Chiefs traded offensive tackle Wanya Morris to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2027 sixth-round pick (KC also sends a 2027 seventh-round pick). Morris, who started 16 games for KC since being drafted in 2023, will join Jawaan Taylor in Atlanta. His path to a stable right-tackle role with the Chiefs appeared uncertain, as Josh Simmons was slated to start at left tackle and Morris was not considered part of the current right-tackle competition, per coach Andy Reid. KC still has other tackle options and depth on the 90-man roster, including Ethan Driskell, while Morris seeks a fresh start with the Falcons.

Falcons Swing for Wanya Morris to Boost O-Line Depth

As OTAs wrap and mandatory minicamp nears, the Falcons acquired Kansas City tackle Wanya Morris, a 25-year-old who has started 16 games since being drafted in 2023. Versatile enough to line up at left or right tackle, Morris has had pass-blocking struggles with 10 penalties in 2024 but showed improved run blocking in 2025. With KC adding depth and Atlanta adding five new tackles this offseason, the move positions Morris as a potential future starter under coach Bill Callahan as the Falcons reshape their OL this summer.

"Kansas City Chiefs: A Glimpse into their Dominant 2023 Season"

The Kansas City Chiefs may see rookie Wanya Morris eventually challenge and win the starting left tackle role from veteran Donovan Smith. Morris, a third-round pick, has shown promise during minicamp and could benefit from the long season to further develop his skills. With Smith's injury history and age, the Chiefs may opt to give Morris the reps and utilize his cost-controlled contract. Despite being a rookie, Morris's versatility and coaching background make him a strong contender for the starting position.
