Chiefs and tackle Wanya Morris agree to explore trade

The Kansas City Chiefs and offensive tackle Wanya Morris have mutually agreed to explore trade options, according to reports on Tuesday, June 10. The move comes as the 25-year-old lineman, entering the final year of his rookie contract, seeks a greater opportunity for playing time amid significant depth at his position on the Chiefs' roster.

Morris, a third-round pick in 2023, started a career-high 11 games during the 2024 season, primarily at left tackle, and even caught a touchdown pass on a trick play. However, his role diminished significantly in 2025, when he made just one start and played only 66 offensive snaps. Across his three seasons with Kansas City, he has 16 starts in 43 games played. Team depth at tackle, including Josh Simmons, Jaylon Moore, and Kingsley Suamataia, has limited his recent opportunities.

The development follows an injury Morris sustained to his knee during a Week 12 start last season, though he has since been participating in practices while wearing a brace. His on-field performance over 1,042 career snaps at left tackle includes allowing 62 pressures and seven sacks, according to professional analytics.
