Overview

• Bill Barnwell’s August 25 analysis projects Kansas City sending tackle Wanya Morris and a sixth-round pick to Atlanta for cornerback Clark Phillips III.
• No deal has been announced by either team, and the scenario remains an analyst’s projection rather than a confirmed negotiation.
• Barnwell cites injuries to Falcons linemen Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton as creating a major right‑side vacancy that protects left‑handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s blindside.
• Morris, a former third‑round pick, struggled after inheriting the Chiefs’ left tackle job last season, was benched, and saw Joe Thuney shift to left tackle during the team’s Super Bowl run.
• For the Chiefs, added cornerback depth is the target, with Barnwell suggesting Phillips—currently dealing with a rib injury—could settle in as a reserve option in Kansas City.
