Falcons waive OT Wanya Morris, acquired via trade in June
Atlanta is parting with offensive tackle Wanya Morris just months after acquiring him in a trade, a surprise given the belief the club saw him as depth.
The Atlanta Falcons are waiving offensive tackle Wanya Morris, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network — a notable cut given the team only acquired him via trade in June.

Morris, a former Chiefs draft pick, was brought to Atlanta this offseason with the idea that a change of scenery could unlock the traits that made him a Day 2 prospect. Instead the Falcons are moving on during cutdown, a signal that the tackle room is set with other options. For a player who changed teams once already in 2026, landing elsewhere on waivers or as a free agent becomes the next question.
