Report: With Luke McCown done for the year, Saints sign Matt Flynn

Drew Brees has a new backup moving forward in 2015 for the New Orleans Saints.

As Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported, Luke McCown's season came to an end due to the need to have surgery on his back.

In turn, the team has decided to sign Matt Flynn, which the journeyman quarterback confirmed through his Twitter account.

Flynn has spent time with the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders.
