The New Orleans Saints were ordered by an NFL arbitrator to pay a former assistant of late owner Tom Benson nearly $400 Keenan Allen Jersey ,000 for violations of federal labor law, according to Ramon Antonio Vargas of the New Orleans Advocate.
Arbitrator Harold Henderson ordered the Saints to pay Rodney Henry the money due to him for overtime, contractual guarantees and legal fees following his dismissal from the team in 2015. Henry had served as Benson’s personal assistant over two stints spanning 25 years before being fired. He filed a lawsuit against the team in November 2015 accusing the Saints of not paying him overtime.
Additionally, he was contractually guaranteed double his salary Cordrea Tankersley Jersey , plus interest, if anyone other than Benson himself dismissed Henry from his position.
Henry had also alleged racial discrimination against Gayle Benson, but those claims were not given any compensation by Henderson.

The Green Bay Packers have signed tight end Marcedes Lewis, adding another veteran to back up Jimmy Graham.
The 6-foot-6 Lewis Frank Clark Jersey , who turned 34 last week, played 12 seasons in Jacksonville. He ranks third in Jaguars history with 375 catches and second with 33 touchdown receptions.
Lewis also helped the Jaguars run for an NFL-best 141.4 yards per game last year.
He fills out the depth chart at a thin position for the Packers, who signed Graham as a free agent this offseason. Lance Kendricks was the only other tight end with extensive experience on the roster.
The tight end position can be productive on a Packers offense that figures to bounce back in 2018 with a healthy Aaron Rodgers returning at quarterback.
"Well the tight end position in this offense is difficult. I think that goes understated, frankly Kiko Alonso Jersey ," coach Mike McCarthy said this week. "The volume of responsibility is significant."
General manager Brian Gutenkunst also announced several front office promotions and assignments on Friday, including the naming of veteran executives Jon-Eric Sullivan and John Wojciechowski to be co-directors of player personnel. They will replace Gutekunst, who was promoted from that position in January to replace Ted Thompson.
