Nick Underhill: Saints Might Not Move on from DA

I also think its a higher probability that Loomis and Dennis Allen continue to produce a failed NFL product on the field, Gayle passes, Loomis moves the team or sells it to someone who moves it, then it is for the Saints to end up drafting Arch Manning and leading the saints to another superbowl.

I would also be happy to eat crow over that last statement. With hot sauce please.

How would Loomis "move the team" or sell it? He doesn't own it and wouldn't be the executor of the estate. I swear that hatred of DA has turned Loomis into a super villain in the minds of the fans.

When Gayle dies the team will be sold by whoever is the executor of the estate. That is most likely to be Dennis Lauscha or, if he is still alive, Benson family attorney, Phil Wittman.

I think there is a section of Tom's will that says it has to be sold to someone who will keep the team in New Orleans. I'm not sure that is enforceable. But I only know the basics of LA succession law. At any rate, I'm sure they would try to sell it to someone who would keep the team in New Orleans, but there aren't many candidates at this point. Maybe Todd Graves of Raisin' Canes who I think currently has a net worth higher than Gayle Benson.
