Chiefs Reportedly Exploring Trade Options for Tackle Wanya Morris

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly exploring trade options involving offensive tackle Wanya Morris, their 2023 third-round draft pick, as of Monday. The report said the two sides have agreed the team will look for a new place for Morris to play in the 2026 season. Morris has appeared in 43 regular-season games across three years, making 16 starts, with 11 of those starts coming in the 2024 season.

According to the report, Morris was moved out of the first-team lineup ahead of the playoffs. The situation has fueled his desire to find a team where he can return to a more prominent role and compete for a steadier starting opportunity.

The Chiefs are described as open to a trade if another club presents an offer that makes sense for Kansas City. No potential destinations, timeline for a deal, or compensation details were included in the report.

Morris’ role and the Chiefs’ roster calculus

Morris’ profile is that of a young, experienced depth tackle with starting snaps on his résumé, which can carry value for teams seeking help on the edge of the offensive line. His 2024 usage, followed by the reported change in playoff depth-chart status, suggests his long-term path to a starting job in Kansas City is uncertain.

For the Chiefs, exploring the market could be a way to clarify the offensive line depth chart before the 2026 season picture comes into focus. Any trade would also give the club flexibility to reallocate roster spots, whether through internal development or future additions.

What happens next

If interest materializes, the next step would be a formal trade discussion between teams. Until then, the situation remains a reported exploration of options rather than an announced deal.
