Breaux joined the Saints in 2015 and enjoyed a standout rookie season in the NFL.

Harris played in 17 games with the Ticats last season, registering 43 tackles and two interceptions. He has been with Hamilton since 2013.

The 25-year-old becomes the second Tiger-Cat to depart for the NFL this offseason, teammate Terrell Sinkfield signed with the Minnesota Vikings.
