Saints owner Tom Benson’s daughter and grandchildren claim that he’s not fit to retain control of his team.
But NFL commissioner Roger Goodell disagrees.
Goodell said he felt Benson was “in complete control” of the Saints, and perfectly confident in his ability to handle his business.
He said he spoke with Benson recently, describing him as “energetic” and engaged about league issues.
It was an expected vote of confidence for Benson, who wants to transfer control of the Saints and Pelicans to his wife Gayle.
