Overview
- The Falcons cut Wanya Morris on Sunday as part of final roster reductions ahead of the NFL 53-man deadline.
- Atlanta acquired Morris from the Kansas City Chiefs in June in a near-wash trade that sent a 2027 sixth-round pick for Morris plus a 2027 seventh-rounder.
- Morris suffered an early camp injury, returned but failed to earn consistent preseason snaps as Michael Jerrell assumed the swing-tackle role.
- Because Morris has fewer than four accrued seasons he will pass through waivers and could be signed to a practice squad or claimed by another team, while Atlanta saves a modest portion of his $1.432 million salary.
- The move highlights how low-cost, short-term trades for young linemen can be reversed quickly when availability and performance fall short during training camp.
