The Atlanta Falcons are not picking up the fifth-year option on tight end Hayden Hurst, meaning he'll be a free agent after this season, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.
Hurst had been the No. 25 pick of the 2018 NFL draft by Baltimore and then was traded last March along with a fourth-round pick to Atlanta for the Falcons' second-and-fifth round picks last year.
He posted career-high numbers with the Falcons last season, making 56 catches for 571 yards and six touchdowns on 88 targets. In his career between Baltimore and Atlanta, he played in 44 games with 99 catches for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns.
