Atlanta’s bringing back their quality offensive line depth in 2025.
The Atlanta Falcons have been fortunate to have quality offensive line depth in recent years, and they’re zealous about bringing those guys back. That’s why you saw them re-sign Elijah Wilkinson and Kyle Hinton yesterday, and that’s why they’re re-signing Storm Norton today.
The news comes from Norton’s representation at JL Sports.
Congratulations on client @Stormnorton74 signing with the @AtlantaFalcons on a 2-year deal

Norton, who will be 31 this season, was a 15 game starter for the Chargers back in 2021 and has been a reserve since. Landing in Atlanta has been a blessing for him and the team, as he’s stepped right in for Kaleb McGary during the right tackle’s inevitable handful of snaps and/or games missed with injury and held up quite well, especially in pass protection. As is the case with Hinton, the Falcons trust Norton to be able to handle multiple spots in a pinch and hold his own, and that’s a valuable commodity in a league where poor line play is fairly common. He started one game a year ago and three in 2023.
With Norton under contract and joining Hinton and Wilkinson, the only real intrigue remaining for the offensive line is what the Falcons plan to do at center and whether they’ll draft a developmental tackle. Their depth should otherwise be pretty well set for the season ahead, and we welcome Norton’s return.
