Saints Release Rookie CB Tino Ellis

He had 1 interception, a fumble recovery, 1 fumble forced, 5 tackles for loss, and 21 passes defended during four collegiate years with the Terrapins.
The release of Ellis leaves the Saints with six corners on their roster in Marshon Lattimore, Janoris Jenkins, P.J. Williams, Justin Hardee, Patrick Robinson, and rookie UDFA Keith Washington.
