Josh McCown signs one-year, $6 million deal with Jets

Josh McCown has found a new home.

The journeyman quarterback signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Monday, per his agent Mike McCartney. The team later confirmed the deal.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that McCown was inked to a one-year, fully guaranteed $6 million pact, suggesting the veteran has a solid chance to start.

The move tugs the 37-year-old McCown into a bottom-of-the-barrel quarterback room that includes third-year passer Bryce Petty and roaming enigma Christian Hackenberg.

The Jets are hardly a team trying to win next season.
