New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Luke McCown has signed a one-year deal with the team, according to a report from Alex Marvez of Fox Sports.

The deal is worth $970,000 with an $80,000 signing bonus and $350,000 in guaranteed money, the report says.

The last time McCown started a game was 2011, when he played for the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

McCown's brother, Josh, is a quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

The Saints went 7-9 and finished in second place in the NFC South last season.
