The Atlanta Falcons signed linebacker Nate Stupar to a one-year contract extension Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed, but it is a veteran minimum $585,000 deal, per ESPN.com.

“Blessed to sign back with the @atlantafalcons Lets bring back the ‘Dirty Bird’ style of play #StupLyfe #RiseUp,” Stuper posted to his Twitter account Tuesday.

Stupar, known primarily for his special teams play, ranked second on the Falcons with nine special teams tackles last season while appearing in 15 games. Originally a seventh-round pick in 2012 by the Oakland Raiders, Stupar also spent time with the Eagles, 49ers and Jaguars before being claimed by the Falcons off waivers on Aug. 31, 2014.

He has played in 27 career games.

Stupar becomes the fourth Falcon to sign an extension this offseason, following kicker Matt Bryant, defensive lineman Cliff Matthews and fullback Patrick DiMarco.
