The Atlanta Falcons traded for offensive lineman Wanya Morris from Kansas City, adding depth at tackle behind Jake Matthews and Jawaan Taylor as they gear up for the 2026 season.

Morris, 25, seeks more playing time after starting 16 games across his first three seasons, and his rookie contract keeps him affordable depth for Atlanta.

The trade comes amid broader Falcons offseason moves to bolster the offensive line, with discussions ongoing but no official terms announced yet as camp approaches.

The move is part of a fluid training camp narrative, with teams evaluating tackle depth and remaining open to negotiations while finalizing rosters.

Contextual comparison is drawn to how teams handle PUP designations, noting that Roy Robertson-Harris once avoided PUP on the Giants due to a potential late-season return.
