The Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs completed a trade, with offensive tackle Wanya Morris heading to Atlanta along with a 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round selection.
The deal is a straight pick swap with Morris included. Atlanta is moving up one round in 2027 while adding a player both organizations agreed to find a new home for.
Why Both Sides Moved
Morris was buried on Kansas City's depth chart heading into 2026 with no realistic path to a starting role...

A.J. Epenesa has a new team, and it is not the one he thought he was joining in March.
The Philadelphia Eagles announced the signing of the veteran defensive end alongside offensive guard Michael Jordan, waiving linebackers Chandler Martin and Isiah King in corresponding moves.
The Eagles also released edge rusher Za'Darius Smith from the reserve/retired list, allowing him to play elsewhere if he returns to the NFL.
Epenesa's path to Philadelphia was one of the stranger free agency journ...
The New England Patriots are done with Stefon Diggs, and Mike Vrabel wanted to make sure everyone understood that.
Vrabel stated that the Patriots are not exploring a Diggs reunion and that New England has no plans to pursue him heading into the 2026 season.
The statement removes one team from a landing spot conversation that has been building for many weeks. Mike Vrabel on Stefon Diggs potentially returning to the #Patriots : “We’re happy with where we’re at right now… I appreciate Stefon...
Joel Bitonio announced his retirement, closing a career that began in Cleveland in 2014 and never left.
The Cleveland Browns released a statement from Bitonio and held a press conference in Berea where he was joined by his wife and children.
"I poured myself into it, I was 100% committed to this team and organization," Bitonio said. "I always wanted to be the best version of myself to make the team as good as we could be. That's what I pushed for, and I hope people remember this guy was to...
The Aaron Donald unretirement conversation has moved from speculation to something approaching expectation.
ESPN's Adam Schefter addressed the situation on his podcast, offering the clearest assessment yet of where things stand.
"Nobody is coming out right now and saying Aaron Donald is coming back," Schefter said. "But everybody is acknowledging that it is a possibility. The fact that it is even a possibility in June tells me that I think there's every possibility it will become more real...
Stefon Diggs was found not guilty of all charges in a Massachusetts court earlier this month, removing the final obstacle between him and a new NFL contract.
He has 85 catches, 1,013 yards, four touchdowns, and a Super Bowl appearance on his 2025 resume.
He is 32 years old and still does not have a team for 2026.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on SportsCenter that the Chiefs and Ravens are among the AFC contenders pursuing a veteran wide receiver, and while Fowler did not name Diggs speci...
The Los Angeles Rams did not stumble into the Myles Garrett trade accidentally.
They had been building toward a blockbuster pass-rush acquisition all offseason, and as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero revealed on The Rich Eisen Show this week, Maxx Crosby was a significant part of that conversation before the Garrett deal ultimately came together.
"Myles Garrett was not the first pass rusher that they pursued in this offseason," Pelissero said. "They had eyes on players, whether it was via free...
Joey Bosa remains unsigned more than two months into free agency, and the Indianapolis Colts have emerged as a serious potential landing spot.
Per multiple reports, including The Athletic's James Boyd , the Colts are one of the teams eyeing the five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher as a potential addition before training camp.
Why Indianapolis Makes Sense
The Colts ranked 30th in ESPN's pass-rush win rate metric last season, and behind Laiatu Latu there is not a single edge rusher on the Indian...
L'Jarius Sneed visited the Kansas City Chiefs facility, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, opening the door to one of the more interesting potential reunions of the 2026 offseason.
Sneed was a cornerstone of the Chiefs' secondary for four seasons before Kansas City franchised and traded him to the Tennessee Titans ahead of the 2024 season.
Tennessee immediately signed him to a four-year, $76.4 million extension.
That contract did not work out.
What Happened in Tennessee
Sneed was limited to 1...
Robert Tonyan tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers at minicamp Tuesday and Wednesday.
Just a day later, he had a one-year contract.
The Steelers also announced linebacker Jamin Davis on a one-year deal and released tight end Chamon Metayer in a corresponding move.
Tonyan, 32, reunites with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy, both of whom were in Green Bay during the peak years of Tonyan's career. Pittsburgh has agreed to a one-year deal with veteran TE Robert Tonyan ...
The Jacksonville Jaguars added cornerback depth, signing Dane Jackson to a contract and placing cornerback Keith Taylor on injured reserve in corresponding moves.
Jackson, 29, brings six NFL seasons of experience to a Jaguars cornerback room that already features Travis Hunter, Jourdan Lewis, Montaric Brown, and Jarrian Jones as the top four, with one or two spots remaining open heading into training camp.

Kimani Vidal had one of the better breakout stories of the 2025 NFL season.
A sixth-round pick in 2024 who spent time on the practice squad before being elevated when Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris both went down with injuries, Vidal responded with 643 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and a 4.1 yards-per-carry average across 13 appearances, including three 100-yard games.
The Los Angeles Chargers rewarded him with an exclusive rights tender in March, locking him in for 2026 at a $1.075 m...
Brandon Aiyuk's relationship with the San Francisco 49ers has been deteriorating for eighteen months. Wednesday's news accelerated everything.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner confirmed Wednesday that the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office issued an arrest warrant for the 49ers wide receiver on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speed, stemming from a video Aiyuk posted to YouTube in December showing himself driving past Levi's Stadium at 104 mph in a 40 mph zone.
The DA's office confirme...
The Los Angeles Rams acquired Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns on Monday in one of the most seismic trades in recent NFL history, and the immediate reaction from Aaron Donald suggests the blockbuster may have done something no organizational recruitment had managed in two years.
It got him thinking. I reached out to @AaronDonald97 this morning.. According to source(s) it for sure got him thinking.. He said he's 35 and he's gotta see if that fire can light backup.. Aaron Donald and Myl...
The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor, adding the former first-round pick to a receiver room that is almost unrecognizable from what it was twelve months ago.
Reagor, 27, was the 21st overall pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU, where he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors as both a receiver and returner and generated first-round buzz with his speed and explosiveness in the open field.
The NFL portion of his career did not follow the trajectory that pick posi...
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler published a piece this week simulating trades for four NFL players whose situations he believes could produce deals before training camp, and the proposal that generated the most debate was his suggestion that the Baltimore Ravens send a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for wide receiver Keon Coleman.
Fowler's reasoning is that Baltimore has a receiver room that, despite drafting Ja'Kobi Lane in the third round and Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round of the 2026...
The New York Giants did not hold a workout Monday morning so much as they held an audition that produced three signed contracts.
After hosting a group of veteran wide receivers that also included former Bears first-round pick Anthony Miller, the Giants announced deals for Braxton Berrios, Odell Beckham Jr., and JuJu Smith-Schuster within hours of each other.

Younghoe Koo spent part of last season on the east side of Manhattan kicking for the Giants.
Now he is heading to the other borough.
The New York Jets have signed the veteran kicker, adding him to a 90-man roster that already features Cade York and Lenny Krieg in what has become a three-man kicking competition heading into training camp.
Koo, 31, comes to New York by way of the NFL's now-familiar kicker carousel.
The Falcons released him after a missed game-tying 44-yard field goal att...
Stefon Diggs has been a free agent since being released by the Patriots after their Super Bowl run, found not guilty of all charges in a Massachusetts court, and is now closer to signing somewhere than at any point since February.
Matt Bowen of ESPN made his case Monday for where that somewhere should be.
"The Ravens could be a fit for Diggs, but I really like him in L.A. alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams," Bowen wrote. "The Los Angeles Rams attempted 430 passes out of 11 personnel la...
Josh Sweat signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals last year to reunite with defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, his former coordinator in Philadelphia.
Gannon was fired after one season.
Sweat was not happy about it.
Per PHNX Sports' Jenny Venerable, Sweat requested a trade after Gannon's dismissal in January, and the Cardinals told him no.
Per Jordan Schultz, the situation has not resolved itself since.
"The Arizona Cardinals have received trade cal...
The Detroit Lions were far more aggressive during the 2026 NFL Draft than their final results suggested, and new video released by the Baltimore Ravens confirmed what had previously only been reported in fragments.
The Lions proposed a trade to move from the 17th overall pick to Baltimore's 14th, offering pick No. 118 and a 2027 third-round pick to move up three spots in the first round.
Baltimore had interest.
Then the Miami Dolphins selected Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor...
The Detroit Lions announced they have signed veteran wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated dropped a very intriguing detail recently.
"Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte, I think, could be had for a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick right now, if anyone has an interest in him," Breer wrote.
That is a strikingly low price for a 24-year-old receiver who caught 33 passes for 551 yards and six touchdowns in 2025, averaged a career-high 16.7 yards per reception with the fifth-highest average target distance in the league, and has posted back-to-back seasons ...
