NEW ORLEANS  (WGNO) — A deal may be in the works between Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson and his daughter, Renee, but the deal won’t have anything to do with Benson’s sports team.

Instead, he and Renee could ask a mediator to settle the dispute over the Benson trust in Texas that includes real estate, a car dealership and a bank.

A Texas judge is asking the family to think about seeing a mediator to avoid going to trial in February.
