Two months after signing former Montana Grizzlies standout defensive back and punt returner Tuff Harris to a three-year contract, the New Orleans Saints released Harris in an unexpected move announced on Wednesday, July 30th.
Tuff signed with the Saints on May 27th after being released by the Miami Dolphins earlier in the spring. Tuff signed with Miami on Draft Day 2007 after a stellar career in Missoula and was released by the Dolphins at the end of the 2007 preseason but immediately re-signed with Miami to play on the practice squad and later made the regular season roster, eventually suiting out in several games and playing in the season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"Right now I'm just going to wait to clear waivers and see what happens," Tuff said earlier Wednesday. "I'm going to continue to work out this season and hopefully an opportunity presents itself."
Tuff's agent is Ken Staniger of Missoula.
