425 shares Tom Benson settles Saints, Pelicans ownership dispute
 

Tom Benson has reached a settlement agreement in his legal fight to take away ownership in the Saints and Pelicans from his estranged heirs, avoiding a federal trial that was scheduled to start Monday (June 20).

The agreement will need to be approved by the National Football League and National Basketball Association before the deal can go into effect. The deal brings an end to Benson's family court battles that have played out in Louisiana and Texas over the last 1 1/2 years.
