The Atlanta Falcons added some depth at tight end on Tuesday, signing former Tennessee Titan Anthony Firkser to a one-year deal.
Firkser, 27, played his college ball at Harvard before entering the league in 2017 as an undrafted free agent. In 2018, Firkser caught on in Tennessee where he spent the past four seasons as a reserve tight end.

Playing in 58 career games with the Titans, Firkser racked up 106 catches for 1,107 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Last season, Firkser had 34 catches for 291 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Atlanta drafted Kyle Pitts with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 draft, but lost tight end Hayden Hurst in free agency. Without much depth on the roster, Firkser, who has familiarity with both head coach Arthur Smith and quarterback Marcus Mariota, should slide into the team’s No. 2 tight end spot.
The Falcons also used a top-30 draft visit on UCLA tight end Greg Dulcich on Monday.
