The Falcons sought tackle depth this offseason following the retirement of veteran Kaleb McGary. They had previously signed veteran Jawaan Taylor and now bring in his former teammate in K.C., Morris, to improve the unit.
Atlanta’s trade for Morris comes as it placed tackle Storm Norton on the reserve/physically unable to perform list on Thursday. Norton missed the 2025 season with an ankle injury.
The 25-year-old Morris had a mostly disappointing three years with the Chiefs, particularly struggling in pass protection, but brings starting experience to ATL.
The Chiefs were exploring trade options for Morris, who was buried on the depth chart. K.C. will plow forward with Jaylon Moore, second-year OT Esa Pole, who has generated some buzz this offseason, and rookie OT Kahlil Benson as options opposite starting left tackle Josh Simmons.
