Wanya Morris Trade Grades: Falcons Acquire Chiefs OT
Wanya Morris requested a trade after slipping down Kansas City’s depth chart and will compete for a starting role in Atlanta, where tackle depth is thin.
- On Thursday, the Atlanta Falcons acquired offensive tackle Wanya Morris and a seventh-round pick from the Kansas City Chiefs for a sixth-round selection in next year's draft, pending a physical.
- The 25-year-old Morris requested a trade this offseason after falling down Kansas City's depth chart, where he recorded 43 career games played over three seasons with the Chiefs.
- In Atlanta, Morris joins a crowded offensive tackle room and will compete for the starting right tackle role following the offseason retirement of longtime starter Kaleb McGary.
- The Chiefs' offensive tackle depth increased after drafting Josh Simmons and signing Jaylon Moore, leaving Morris to fall behind players like Chukwuebuka Godrick and Kahlil Benson during recent team activities.
- Although he won a Super Bowl ring two years ago, Morris started only 16 games over three seasons, mostly out of necessity when injuries sidelined teammates ahead of him on the depth chart.
