Off Season
On March 13, 1960 there was an expansion draft to stock the Dallas Rangers, who would later change their name to the "Cowboys." In this draft the Eagles lost tight end Dick Bielski, tackle Jerry DeLucca, and linebacker Bill Striegel to Dallas.
As since 1951 the Eagles hold training camp at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This is the longest they have trained at one site continuously up to then and into 1995 when they started at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The last year at Hershey was 1967.
