Former Titans’ TE Anthony Firkser signs with Jets

Former Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser has a new home. The 29-year-old has signed with the New York Jets, as first reported by Adam Schefter.

Firkser initially signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Harvard in 2017 but was waived prior to the start of the season. He also spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs before the Titans signed him in May 2018.

In Tennessee, Firkser saw the field quite a bit over the next four years. He amassed 106 catches, 1,107 receiving, and five touchdowns, including a career-high 39 receptions and 387 yards during the 2020 season.

Following the 2021 NFL season, Firkser signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, but he could not match his product with the Titans. He had just nine catches for 100 yards in 11 games played, including one start.

Firkser will look to stick with the Jets in a backup capacity or on special teams.
