NEW ORLEANS -- The price went up for New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Luke McCown after his impressive turn as a fill-in for Drew Brees last season.
McCown agreed to a two-year deal with the Saints on Thursday night worth $3 million, according to a source. The deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus.
It probably didn’t hurt the 34-year-old’s bargaining position that he was in Indianapolis on Thursday for a visit with the Colts.
