Sources: The #Chiefs are trading OT Wanya Morris and a 7th-round pick in 2027 to the #Falcons for a 6th-round pick in 2027.
Kansas City and Morris worked together to find him a new team.
Kyle Shanahan on how important it is to get Christian McCaffrey some rest this season:
“Last year was the worst we had been at it. One of the most amazing years I have seen by a guy in terms of just heart. The fact that he could get his body ready every Sunday for 17 weeks was amazing to me. And the load he had to carry with all the injuries and issues we had at receiver, he was such a pivotal part in the pass game and obviously the run game. For him to be able to make it through there was huge. But that’s not what we want for him. I want him to have more juice. To be more fresher. He doesn’t have to take that beating when it’s unnecessary. I’m hoping we can have some other guys step up more this year. So you don’t feel like you need him on the field every play. He’s never going to want to hear that. If you insinuate that, he will be extremely insulted by me, but I hope he truly believes it’s for his best because I believe that.”
