The Falcons have signed one of their core special teams players to a new contact.
Atlanta has inked linebacker Nate Stupar to a contract extension, the club said Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Stupar played in 15 games for Atlanta a season ago, notching nine special teams tackles, per the club.
Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports the contract is for one year and $585,000.
Stupar entered the NFL as a seventh-round selection of Oakland in 2012. He has also appeared in regular season games with Jacksonville and San Francisco, with both stints occurring in 2013.
