The Saints announced Monday that they agreed to terms with a pair of unrestricted free agents — former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Kenyon Coleman and former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Luke McCown.

Coleman spent the last two seasons as a starting defensive end in the Cowboys’ 3-4 alignment under new Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

McCown, who played his college ball at Louisiana Tech, was Matt Ryan’s backup with the Falcons in 2012 after spending the spring and summer with the Saints.

Coleman becomes the second former Cowboys’ player to join the Saints in five days as linebacker Victor Butler agreed to a three-year deal Thursday. Like Coleman, Butler played the past two seasons under Ryan with the Cowboys.

An 11-year NFL veteran, the 6-foot-5, 293-pound Coleman has played in 141 games with 81 starts with the Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and two stints with the Cowboys.

While with the Browns, Coleman played under Ryan and then joined him in Dallas, where he started 15 games in 2011 before being limited to just seven games and finished the season on injured reserve with a triceps injury.

Coleman, a fifth-round draft pick of the Raiders in 2002, has career totals of 400 tackles, 13 1/2 sacks, 14 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and seven passes defensed.

The 31-year-old McCown, who is entering his 10th NFL season, becomes the primary backup to Drew Brees after backup Chase Daniel signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs on the first day of the free-agency signing period on March 12.

A 6-4, 217-pounder who entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick of the Browns in 2004, McCown has played in 22 career games with nine starts with the Browns, Tampa Bay Bucs, Jacksonville Jaguars and Falcons.

He has completed 184 of 316 career pass attempts for 2,035 yards with nine touchdowns and 14 interceptions for a passer rating of 68.5.

McCown was signed by the Saints last June, but he didn’t get much of a chance in training camp behind Brees, Daniel and Sean Canfield. McCown was released on Aug. 27, while Canfield was waived on the final cut four days later.

Saints coach Sean Payton’s Play it Forward Foundation teamed up with Basket of Hope to deliver 250 gift baskets Monday to patients and their families at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans.

Payton handed out “Super Baskets of Hope” and visited with 25 children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers during his visit, according to NewOrleansSaints.com.

The baskets were filled with toys, board games, stuffed animals and books, while parents received inspirational and faith-based publications to help them with their challenges.

The NFL has announced the order for all seven rounds of the draft that will be held April 25-27.

The Saints have five selections after forfeiting their second-round pick as part of the bounty scheme penalties and traded a seventh-round choice to the Seattle Seahawks for linebacker Barrett Ruud, who was later released.

Barring trades, the first pick for the Saints will be the 15th in the first round. They’ll also have single selections in the third (No. 75 overall), fourth (No. 109), fifth (No. 144) and sixth (No. 183) rounds.

The Saints on Thursday agreed to terms on a one-year contract with veteran linebacker Will Herring.

The 6-foot-3, 241-pound Herring played with the Saints in 2011 and ’12. His contract was terminated just before the free agency signing period began on March 12 as the Saints had to trim some payroll to get down to the salary cap of $123 million.

In a six-year career, Herring has appeared in 81 games with 11 starts. He has played mainly on special teams for the Saints and recorded a career-high 14 tackles on kick coverage last season.
