Well whatever happens in the struggling Empire, I'm for the side that plans on keeping the Saints in New Orleans.

And that is exactly why I do not want Rita and her mother to have control. They have far firmer roots in Texas than in New Orleans.

I think the biggest issue in this won't be Benson's competency, but whether or not he has the assets to replace the Saints and Pelicans in the trust. That is probably going to end up being the biggest issue in this in the long run.

The latest proposal given to the trust manager is said to be balanced enough to accomplish clearing the franchises from the trust. That no longer appears to be a hurdle.

Trending Summary - New Orleans Saints Words from Roger

Goodell said the dispute over Benson's plan to transfer ownership to his wife Gayle, rather than a family group led by his granddaughter Rita Benson LeBlanc, was "unfortunate." Goodell said he recently spoke to Benson by phone and the owner was "in his office, as usual" and was "excited about getting to the office, asking about league issues. As you know, he's been one of our more active owners in the league on various committees."
