It’s a good offseason to be a McCown, and now they’ll get to see plenty of each other.

Agent Mike McCartney just tweeted out word that Luke McCown had agreed to a one-year deal to stay with the Saints.

McCown’s not hitting it big like his brother Josh McCown in Tampa Bay, and isn’t there to start, but he does give the Saints some experience as a backup.

They also have former undrafted rookie Ryan Griffin to groom, but Luke McCown gives them a seasoned safety net.
