The New York Jets signed Anthony Firkser to a contract Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.After being let go by the Patriots during training camp last August, Firsker caught on with the Lions' practice squad in October. He appeared in the Lions' final five games of the season, including their three playoff games after Sam LaPorta injured his knee in Week 18.
