HUGE NEWS: NFL, Benson could be on crash course for litigation over 2006 Saints home

In major breaking news this Saturday afternoon, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Tom Benson and the NFL could become adversaries in litigation over the Saints' future location.

It's the biggest bomb yet dropped by Benson, who is apparently so adament over moving the Saints to San Antonio that he's willing to go to court.

Mortensen further reports that NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue is expected to order the Saints back to their Metairie training facility and to New Orleans for the 2006 season. Sources indicate that NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw told Saints players recently to not renew their residential leases in San Antonio.

Benson, however, apparently will refuse such an order and seek to keep the club in San Antonio with hopes of relocating there permanently.

Major development...
