Saints owner Benson dies at age 90

Tom Benson, a successful auto dealer and longtime owner of the New Orleans Saints who brought the franchise its only winning seasons and the “Benson Boogie,” has died.

Benson also owned the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans since 2012, but the 90year-old made his mark in pro sports with the Saints.

The teams announced Benson’s death on Thursday. He had been hospitalized since Feb. 16 with flu symptoms.

Benson bought the Saints in 1985 when it appeared the club would be sold to out-of-state interests and perhaps moved out of Louisiana. He paid $70 million for the team, which is now worth close to $2 billion.

Sitton agrees to deal with Dolphins: Four-time Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton agreed to terms with Miami on a two-year deal that could be worth nearly $18 million including incentives, said his agent, Jack Reale.

Sitton, 31, spent the past two seasons with the Chicago Bears and made the Pro Bowl most recently in 2016. He played for the Green Bay Packers from 2008-’15 and has 137 career starts.

The Dolphins also released threetime Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey.

Pouncey, 28, has been plagued by serious problems with both hips and at one time said he feared the issue might be career-ending. But last season he played in all 16 games for the first time since 2012.
