The Atlanta Falcons and backup quarterback Matt Schaub have agreed to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Saturday.
Schaub, who turns 38 in June, signed to be Matt Ryan's backup prior to the 2016 season. He's played in seven games over the last three seasons, completing 6 of 10 passes for 36 yards.
"Matt has a great understanding of our scheme and brings valuable experience to the position," Falcons coach Dan Quinn said in a statement.
Schaub entered the NFL in 2004 as a third-round draft pick of the Falcons and was Michael Vick's backup for three seasons.
