====== March 3, 1960 ======

===== News =====

•	AFL officials met in Oakland to discuss a number of league matters, including plans to stock the Oakland team with players.

===== Transactions =====

•	The league officially assigned the contracts of the following players to Oakland: defensive back [[George Blanch]], lineman [[Clord Boyette]], defensive tackle [[Willie Boykin]], end [[Carmen Cavalli]], quarterback [[Fran Curci]], fullback [[Purcell Daniels]], center [[Jim Otto]], end [[Gene Prebola]], quarterback [[Sam McCord]], end [[Dan Edgington]], halfback [[Abner Haynes]], end [[Don Norton]], lineman [[Bob Parker]], and lineman [[Jim Woodard]].

•	All of the players had originally been drafted by the defunct Minneapolis/St. Paul franchise, but had signed with other AFL teams in the interim.

•	Later in the day, Dallas owner Lamar Hunt insisted that Abner Haynes remain with his team and that Oakland would be compensated with another player or perhaps a choice in next year's draft.

•	Head coach [[Eddie Erdelatz]] said he had spoken with all the players on the list and that it was “doubtful” that Norton would come to Oakland.
