The Facts: Few saw the Tennessee Titans reaching the AFC Championship Game at the start of the 2019 season, and it's likely even fewer could name a key pass-catcher who helped them get there. Firkser didn't rack up a ton of gaudy statistics, but he made plays when it mattered, catching two touchdowns in the postseason for Tennessee. With those key plays, Firkser earned himself a one-year contract extension, the team announced Thursday.
Diehards Line:
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Harvard by the New York Jets in 2017, Firkser bounced between the Jets and Chiefs before landing with Tennessee in 2018. He's since posted two similar seasons statistically, catching 33 passes for 429 yards and two touchdowns in the regular season. Firkser was scheduled to be an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, but the one-year extension takes care of that before the start of the new league year. We'll see if he can take the next step in 2020.
