Historical Figures
Owner
Automobile dealer and banking executive Tom Benson purchased the Saints in 1985 for $70.2 million and transformed the franchise from lovable losers to Super Bowl champions. He kept the team in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and oversaw the greatest era in franchise history under Drew Brees and Sean Payton.
Owner
Texas oil heir John Mecom Jr. was the Saints' original owner, purchasing the expansion franchise in 1966. His 18-year tenure was marked by the franchise's extended period of futility, with the Saints failing to post a single winning season during his ownership.
