What happened: Atlanta acquired Morris and a 2027 seventh-round pick for a 2027 sixth-rounder in the June deal. With fewer than four accrued seasons, Morris must pass through waivers.

Why it matters: The move ends Morris' bid for a place on Atlanta's 2026 roster before the regular season. It also leaves the Falcons with only the draft-pick portion of their return from Kansas City.

By the numbers: Morris appeared in 43 regular-season games over three years with Kansas City, starting 16 of them (37.2%).

What to watch: Waiver claims will determine whether Morris joins another roster or becomes a free agent.
