- The Saints announced that they also released DB Ty Zimmerman on Monday.
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing these two players will free up $1.093 million in available cap space while creating just $4,000 in dead money.
Ball, 27, signed as a free agent with the Argonauts back in February of 2012. He spent two years with the Argonauts and totaled 142 tackles, seven sacks, four interceptions, two returned for touchdowns and three fumble recoveries over this time.
