FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons re-signed offensive lineman Storm Norton, the organization announced Thursday.
The 6-foot-7, 317-pound tackle is set to embark on his seventh season in the NFL, his third with the Falcons. He'll be 31 years old before the 2025 kicks off.
Norton originally went undrafted in 2017 and signed with the Detroit Lions. He didn't see his first professional action, though, until 2018 with the Minnesota Vikings. He spent one season there before moving to the Los Angeles Chargers from 2020-22.
The Falcons signed Norton off the New Orleans Saints' practice squad in September 2023. He then played in 14 games for the Falcons, making three starts. He took 31% of the Falcons' offensive snaps and 14% of their special teams snaps.
The three games in which Norton started were Weeks 14-16, stepping up at right tackle when Kaleb McGary was out due to a knee injury.
Last season, Norton appeared in all 17 games, starting one. He took 11% of the Falcons' offensive snaps and 18% of their special teams snaps.
Norton's sole start came in the Week 4 win against the Saints, filling in again at right tackle for McGary, who was sidelined for his knee.
The Falcons return all but one member of their starting offensive line from 2024. Center Drew Dalman hit free agency and reportedly signed with the Chicago Bears. Otherwise, from left to right, tackle Jake Matthews, guard Matthew Bergeron, guard Chris Lindstrom and McGary are still on the roster.
