Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Anthony Firkser

Sunday, January 4, 3:56 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill exited during the third quarter and finished the game with three catches for 32 yards. The 35-year-old's future remains uncertain, and there has been plenty of speculation that he could retire following New Orleans' season finale on Sunday. He received a curtain call of sorts back in Week 16, when he had four catches, 36 receiving yards, 12 carries, 42 receiving yards, and a 38-yard passing touchdown in the Saints' final home game of the season. If this was indeed Hill's final game, he has put the finishing touches on an impressive career that saw him do a little bit of everything on offense.

The Kansas City Chiefs released tight ends Anthony Firkser and Baylor Cupp, linebacker Shaun Bradley, offensive guard McKade Mettauer and safety Jason Taylor on Wednesday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. They also received an international exemption for offensive tackle Chukwuebuka Godrick. Firkser is the biggest name of the bunch. The 30-year-old veteran tight end played for both the Chiefs and New York Jets last year but didn't contribute at all on offense and wasn't targeted in the passing game in seven total games with both teams. He signed a Reserve/Futures deal after KC's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles but will now be searching for a new organization after the 2025 NFL draft. Firkser hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons.
