Speaking at a press conference filled with media and Saints fans, Benson stated, “It has been an absolute honor to guide this team and be part of its journey. However, it’s time to pass the torch to new visionary leaders who will continue the legacy of excellence.”
Though specific financial terms of the sale remain undisclosed, early reports suggest the deal is one of the largest in NFL history.

Landry, whose investments span across technology and sports management, expressed his excitement about the acquisition. “The Saints are not just a football team; they are a symbol of resilience and pride for New Orleans. We are committed to maintaining the spirit of this great organization while striving for even more success on and off the field,” Landry said.
Fans expressed mixed emotions over the announcement. While some are sad to see Benson step away, others are hopeful for a brighter future under the new leadership. The Saints, who have long been a cornerstone of New Orleans’ sports culture, are expected to retain key personnel as they enter a new chapter.
As the deal awaits final NFL approval, one thing is clear: the New Orleans Saints are embarking on an exciting journey that could redefine their future in the league.
