Falcons updated 90-man roster following trade for Wanya Morris

[ASFN Admin]

The Atlanta Falcons completed a trade with the Chiefs on Thursday, sending a 2027 sixth-round pick to Kansas City in exchange for offensive lineman Wanya Morris and a 2027 seventh-round pick. It's another low-risk, high-reward move for Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham.

Morris, 25, has appeared in 43 games with 16 career starts for the Chiefs, and while he won't be expected to start in Atlanta, the former third-round pick still has plenty of upside. Morris excels as a run-blocker but struggles in pass protection, which isn't uncommon for young offensive tackles.

The Falcons signed former Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor to start in place of former first-round pick Kaleb McGary, who announced his surprise retirement back in April.

The trade for Morris will bring Atlanta's roster total up to 91 players, which means the team will have to release someone in order to make room. Since the move hasn't been officially announced, the Falcons still have time to decide who to cut.
