FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. The Atlanta Falcons signed quarterback Easton Stick, the organization announced Monday.

Stick comes to Atlanta from the Los Angeles Chargers, with whom he had spent his entire career until now. The Chargers drafted Stick in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft after he culminated his career at North Dakota State with a 49-3 record, becoming the winningest quarterback in FCS history. He played in one game for the Chargers in 2020, completing his sole pass attempt for 4 yards. He then played in five games and made four starts in 2023 while Justin Herbert was on injured reserve. Stick completed 63.8% of his passes for 1,129 yards good for an average of 226 yards per game with three touchdowns and an interception.

The Falcons have their starting quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., who was selected by Atlanta with the No. 8 overall pick in last year's draft, a backup veteran in Kirk Cousins and Emory Jones as third on the depth chart. Stick will join the position room as another depth piece. The Falcons have maintainedthey are willing to trade Cousinsif the deal makes sense and he waves his no-trade clause, butrecent reports have not indicated any movementon that front.

Players report back to the facility Tuesday for offseason workouts. Organized Team Activities are scheduled for May 27-28 and 30 and June 2-3 and 5. Mandatory minicamp is June 10-11.
