Saints owner Tom Benson created quite a stir when he took control of his teams away from his kids and gave them to his wife.

And now, he’s using the NFL owners meetings as a chance to Gayle Benson to get caught up to speed if she needs to run the family business.

The Saints owner said Gayle sat in with him and coach Sean Payton and General Manager Mickey Loomis this week.

“This makes me feel great just to get out. The weather is so perfect here and we’ve had some good meetings this morning too,” he said, via Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Advocate. “I was glad they let Gayle sit in on it. It was only supposed to be three per club, that was the coach, Mickey Loomis and I. But they let her sit in on the meeting too.
