Memphis Mad Dogs' General Manager Steve Ehrhart said he and his staff were busy preparing for the upcoming All American Football League free agency period.

Ehrhart said that on March 10th, the eight AAFL teams will submit their negotiations lists to the league office.

League rules state that teams can claim exclusive rights for up to 20 players by placing them on their negotiations list. Those players can be signed, removed or traded at any time.

Ehrhart said teams will also give the league a list of college players from “territorial rights players” with whom the clubs will have exclusive negotiating rights. The college draft pool will be held the following week on March 18th.
