Rookie wide receiver Rod Sherman joined the team after playing in the College All-Star Game against the Packers. Tackle Dan Archer also joined the club after a six-month military stint.

The Raiders sent guard George Flint to the Oilers for what John Rauch called a “prior commitment.” Bob Valli of the Tribune speculated that it was compensation for the Raiders having claimed George Blanda off waivers in the spring. Rookie Gene Upshaw was moved into Flint's second-string guard spot.

In other moves, the coaches shifted lineman Greg Kent from offense to defense, safety James Ray Jackson to cornerback, and quarterback Rick Egloff to safety.
