Atlanta Falcons D
Kansas City Chiefs D

Atlanta Falcons received

  • David Jaynes

Kansas City Chiefs received

  • Tom Geredine

Atlanta Falcons received David Jaynes while Kansas City Chiefs received Tom Geredine. Atlanta received David Jaynes, but his stay ended less than three weeks after the trade and he did not create meaningful regular-season value for the Falcons. The former high draft pick never became a usable answer in Atlanta. That outcome supports a D grade for Atlanta Falcons in this trade.

  • Tony Gonzalez

Kansas City Chiefs received

  • 2010 2nd round pick (50th overall, Javier Arenas)

Atlanta sent its 2010 second-round pick to Kansas City for Tony Gonzalez and received five seasons from the greatest tight end of his generation. Gonzalez made the Pro Bowl four times as a Falcon, remained a high-volume target for Matt Ryan and helped Atlanta reach the playoffs three times. Kansas City used pick No. 50 on Javier Arenas, a useful defensive back and returner, but the Falcons received far greater impact.

Atlanta Falcons received

  • Wanya Morris
  • 2027 7th round pick

Kansas City Chiefs received

  • 2027 6th round pick

Atlanta acquired tackle Wanya Morris and Kansas City's 2027 seventh-round pick on June 11, 2026, in exchange for Atlanta's 2027 sixth-rounder. Morris was competing for offensive-line depth but did not make the Falcons' initial 53-man roster after an injury-limited preseason. Kansas City therefore moved up a round in the 2027 draft while giving up a player Atlanta did not retain, creating a clear early edge.
