Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo): The #Falcons are waiving OL Wanya Morris, who was acquired 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.
