Falcons agree to extension with DT Upshaw

The Atlanta Falcons announced a contract extension with defensive tackle Courtney Upshaw on Thursday and also officially announced Matt Schaub's contract to return to the club.

Terms of the deals weren't announced but ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported Schaub's deal is for two years and $9 million.

"The plan we laid out for this offseason begins with re-signing our own players, and we are fortunate to get deals done with Courtney and Matt this morning," general manager Thomas Dimitroff said in a statement. "Courtney proved to be versatile in our defensive scheme and he will continue to play several roles along our defensive line.
