Former Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Firkser is officially no longer in Nashville after signing with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency, the team announced on Tuesday.
Firsker will now reunite with Falcons head coach Arthur Smith, who coached him as the both a tight ends coach and offensive coordinator during his stint in Tennessee.
The Harvard product is the latest former Titan to relocate to Atlanta, joining quarterback Marcus Mariota, linebacker Rashaan Evans, and long snapper Beau Brinkley.
As a former undrafted free agent signing of Tennessee, Firkser did exceed what you’d expect out of a typical UDFA; however, his time with the Titans did end in disappointment.
After establishing himself as a solid weapon in Tennessee’s offense over his first three years in the NFL, it was thought Firkser would have a breakout year in 2021, but that did not come to fruition.
His blocking remained suspect at best, leading to his playing limited snaps, and he failed to make much of a dent in the passing game despite the Titans dealing with a slew of injuries to their receiving corps.
The writing was pretty much on the wall that Firkser would be done with the Titans after the season ended. Now, he’ll get a fresh start in Atlanta.
