Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo initially reported the one-year deal.

On Saturday, Evan Woodbery of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported contract details:

Graham, who replaced Garrett Hartley late in 2013 and beat out Derek Dimke for the starting job last preseason, made 19 of 22 field-goal attempts in 2014, finishing 11th in the NFL in conversion percentage. He also made 46 of 47 PATs. 

However, while he served as one of the more accurate kickers in the league, he doesn't exactly have a booming leg. He made just one of two attempts from at least 50 yards last season, and he hasn't hit anything over 51 since 2009. 

Although this deal gives him slightly more job security, the 37-year-old won't be without competition during camp. The Saints recently signed 2013 sixth-round pick Dustin Hopkins to a future deal, and the two will likely battle it out for a starting spot.
