Benson's initials, T.B., are painted at midfield on both of the team's practice fields.

The front office came up with the gesture in the last week or so, implementing it in time for the public to see its first practices of the year.

The New Orleans Saints wasted no time finding a Will Harris replacement, inking former Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid to a three-year, $31.5 million deal with $22.5 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
