The Saints are signing quarterback Chase Daniel to a one-year deal, a source tells Adam Caplan of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Financial details of the deal are not yet known. 
Daniel will likely serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Drew Brees for the second time in his NFL career. The Saints also have veteran Luke McCown and former third-round pick Garrett Grayson under contract.
Daniel, 30, has been a free agent since securing his release from the Eagles two weeks ago. The QB spent the first three years of his career in New Orleans but only attempted nine passes during that time while holding the clipboard for Brees. Given that the Eagles were unable to trade Daniel earlier this month, it makes sense that he is signing on for a backup role without a chance to start.
Daniel inked a lucrative contract with the Eagles last offseason that made him one of the highest-paid backup quarterbacks in the NFL. He’s attempted only 78 passes as a pro, but as many as six teams were interested in Daniel last year before he signed with Philadelphia. No one knows for sure what Daniel can do in live action, but the Saints believe they have scored a solid backup QB.
