1960 NFL Expansion Draft

The 1960 NFL Expansion Draft for the Dallas Cowboys was held on March 13, 1960. [cite web |url=http://www.cowboysplus.com/classic/recordbook/draft/1960/index.html|title=Cowboys draft for 1960|accessdate=2008-09-22 |publisher=Dallas Morning News] The Dallas expansion franchise was approved too late for it to participate in the 1960 NFL Draft, so the league held an expansion draft where the Cowboys selected unprotected players from existing franchises. The Cowboys chose 36 players from the existing twelve teams. [cite web |url=http://www.profootballhof.com/history/release.jsp?release_id=1450|title=Pro Football History |accessdate=2008-09-22 |publisher=Pro Football Hall of Fame(listed as the Dallas Rangers)] 22 players made the active roster that season. 11 players played only one year with Dallas. Eight players (including Jack Patera, who was injured early in the 1961 season) played in 1960 and 1961. The three remaining players from the draft started for several years, including: Bob Fry, Tackle, 1960-64; Jerry Tubbs, Linebacker, 1960-66; and Frank Clarke, Wide Receiver, 1960-67.
