Gayle Benson and New Orleans Saints officials have outlined the team's long-term succession plans in detail for the first time.

The plan is that the franchise would be sold with the goal of keeping the team in New Orleans and distributing the proceeds to charity.

The arrangement, which has been approved by the NFL, is similar to what happened after Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson died in 2014 and the team was later sold to Terry and Kim Pegula.

"I can't take it with me," said Benson, who replaced her late husband Tom Benson as owner in 2018 and has no heirs of her own. "God gives us gifts, and this is a gift. I am a steward for this [organization]. And we help other people with it. My wish is to scatter all the good and gifts that God and Tom have given me to this city and community."

The roof of the Superdome caught fire on Tuesday after a pressure washer being used to clean the roof of the New Orleans sports and entertainment arena burst into flames.

The New Orleans Fire Department confirmed firefighters responded to flames on the building's roof shortly after 12:30 p.m. local time. The fire appeared to be under control a short time later.

New Orleans Emergency Management Services said on Twitter that they were transporting one person to the hospital for "minor burns." Emergency officials called on people to stay away from the area.

The New Orleans Saints have had eight members of the organization test positive for COVID-19, according to sources.

The total includes six offensive coaches, one player and a nutritionist.

The Saints placed Michael Thomas on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. Thomas, who is currently on the physically unable to perform list, is not eligible to return to practice until Week 7 at the earliest.

The entire team is operating under the NFL's enhanced mitigation protocols, meaning mandatory masking inside facilities, daily testing, no in-person meetings and grab-and-go meals.

The New Orleans Saints are signing Kenny Still to their practice squad.

The wide receiver worked out for the team on Monday.

The 144th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Stills spent his first two seasons in New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a five-year, $97.6 million contract extension with Marshon Lattimore, according to sources.

The deal could be worth up to $100 million and carries $68.3 million in guarantees.

It is the largest full guarantee at signing for any cornerback in NFL history.

Lattimore, 25, is in the final year of his rookie contract and would have become a free agent in 2022.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to acquire Bradley Robb from the Houston Texans for a 2022 third round pick and a 2023 conditional pick.

In order to facilitate a trade to the Saints, the Texans converted $7.6 million of Roby's base salary into a signing bonus.

Roby was a first-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2014. He spent the past two years in Houston and has started 49 career games with 10 interceptions.

The New Orleans Saints have released Latavius Murray.

The Saints asked the running back to take a reduction in pay and he refused, according to sources.

Murray, 31, was due to make $3.15 million in salary and bonuses this season.

Tony Jones, Jr. will serve as the backup to Alvin Kamara.
