This is an old revision of the document!
• The team announced five choices in the allocation draft: halfback Joe Cannavino from the Bills, guard Jerry Epps from the Titans, halfback Marvin Lasater from the Texans, fullback Billy Lott from the Oilers, and center Bob Nelson from the Patriots
• Eddie Erdelatz said he would not confirm yesterday’s report that the team had acquired center Ben Donnell from the Chargers
• The announcement had been attributed to the league office, not the team, and Commissioner Foss also denied the veracity of the report a day afterward
