Stick, 29, spent the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2019 draft.
Stick has gotten into six career games and made four starts in 2023 while Justin Herbert was injured. He has career totals of 1,133 yards, three touchdowns and one interception on 64 percent passing.
The Falcons' move comes amid speculation that they could trade quarterback Kirk Cousins, with owner Arthur Blank saying the team would be happy to have him as their backup to Michael Penix Jr. in 2025 but would also listen to the right trade offer. Cousins also has a no-trade clause that he must waive for a deal to go through.
The Falcons benched Cousins in favor of Penix midway through 2024. Penix is the team's No. 1 quarterback entering the new season, and 2024 undrafted free agent Emory Jones is also on the depth chart.
